On the Border

Yoshiki Nishimura / Japan / 2018 / World Premiere / 7 min.

synopsis

The filmmaker takes hundreds of photographs of ocean trash that has washed up on the shores of Japan and uses the photogrammetry technique to turn them into sculptures. When filmed in the virtual space, they become mementos of environmental irresponsibility and examples of the excesses of our affluent way of everyday life.

"Looking through the eyes of new technologies, we can have unexpected and incredible views of the reality." Y. Nishimura
