Austin
Austin is a journey through a young man’s private landscape. He does not appear on screen but through his soundscapes, leading the audience through his home, exploring the space of his domesticity.
The work is inspired by the artist's bereaved brother. She created a character based on her brother, replacing the scene from Japan to the UK, and created the work by looking at the traces of human presence through the still life, recalling the space of the house where he spent his last hours.
ある人物の私的空間とサウンドスケープを通して、人間の存在をその不在からみつめる瞑想的作品。人物は最後まで画面に姿を現さず、住居空間にある痕跡だけがその人物の存在を物語る。
