Seasons is an experimental video that weaves personal memory, movement, and the ephemeral nature of love into a poetic narrative across four acts. Each section corresponds to a season and a place: Winter in Japan, Spring in Korea, Summer in China, and Fall in Love.
The first three acts are created using a "motion extract" technique, where only movement is captured, leaving a haunting black backdrop that frames the fleeting motions of life. These segments reflect the director's time spent working on projects in Japan, Korea, and China during the respective seasons, grounding each location in its temporality. The original audio from the filming process accompanies these visuals, immersing viewers in the specific textures of each place.
In the final act, Fall in Love, the clarity of both video and sound dissolves into a blur, reflecting the elusiveness and fragility of love and memory. The faint echoes of the director’s conversations with a former partner linger in this obscured space, hinting at intimacy while withholding its full shape, leaving the audience to contend with the ambiguity of what remains.
Through Seasons, the director captures not just the transience of time and place but also the impermanence of human connections, inviting viewers to reflect on the movements that define their own lives.
