SONG

1995 · 8 min

I filmed the sunrise on January the 1st, 1995. This short was originally meant to be a test roll for a feature film I was going to shoot. I really like its feverish yellow – and I then scratched onto it the title, "SONG". As it was a silent film, I dared to call it that way.

Directed by Kenji Onishi

"The clouds are rushing by, and the architecture of men fit so well in that movement. The bricks. The light is harsh and blue. But in the night it is different, you walk down the street and the sun turns into a light bulb again, the houses are asleep. It feels like thunder and the houses seemed to be dipped into blue and turquoise colours. And then it all turns blue again."

Blue Max
1997
Movie
Blue Max (1997) shows a woman looking out of a window, but also working with extreme close-ups: The street, her neck, the window, her knees, the floor and her toes, brought together by the sound of a passing train. Her ears, her mouth, the wall and the door. The sparkling glass of a window and the young woman on top of a naked young man and later the shadows on the wall of both of them. A telephone is ringing and the clouds in the blue sky are travelling by while it all turns into a rape. And the calmness of both of them is quite irritating when they later watch TV together.
