'Solo Duets' - Opening the festival - PISAF 2006, Puchon, Korea (2 November, 2006)
"Solo Duets", the third opening film, lets you to encounter the devastated mind of an author by taking you to ruins in Europe that was destroyed in the world war in early 20th century. Having been consummated with an inspiration from "Duino Elegies" by Rainer Maria Rilke, this work conveys the destitute loneliness of a survivor with images of sullen color tints, appearing to be surrounded by a silent but pitch-black darkness, together with music by Erik Satie.
Demonstrates their presence of a kind that is entirely different from characters created on the computer, the figures in this film show a refined performance of a story that a soulless object gains life but again goes back to a death-like silence. These figures redefine performances that can be performed in a puppet animation film. This film invites us to a magic world that can be depicted by an animation film that is created with figures that have a mediating eye expression and paralyzed gestures that suppress pains inside.
