Solastalgia
2022 | 4K | 4:03 | stereo
screened at Eye film museum

The video depicts the feelings of a woman who is disconnected from her environment. Hearing odd whispers, she begins to lose her sense of direction and gravity within space. The appearance of rigid spheres embodies the abstract nature of these emotions and conveys a sense of heaviness.

Solastalgia*, which refers to the distress caused by environmental changes that directly impact individuals in their home environment, serves as the underlying concept for this artwork.
