I made this film by taking static videos instead of photographing things, when being on the road. I used footage from my trip to Isle of Skye, as well as recordings I took in South America in 2022. Since the film tries to convey the emotion and inner world of my traveling, self-doubt, and the search for meaning in external validation, I decided to juxtapose some of my footage to enhance the derealization of the material and make it more insightful. The biggest inspiration, though, I took was derived from films such as Sans Soleil by Chris Marker, where the poetic narration from the travels of fictional characters are being read over beautiful, analogue shots from the streets of Tokyo, as well as Tree of Life, where the narration pushes the narrative forward.
