“It looks like I am living. As evidence for it, I get hungry, feel cold, get injured, and excrete. When I died, what was written in my diary went like this. ‘Some beloved people will surely talk about me on the anniversary of my death next year.’” Six episodes from memory and six interviews constitute an extremely private world.
[Director’s Statement] We are living with memories.
Because we remember our experiences, we can keep living.
While I was making An Error with Wings, I kept thinking this way.
These days, however, it is not only memories, I think.
We are living with others.
We cannot help being conscious of others.
Now I am making a film about the “Absolute Other.”
