陽気な風景たち Wealth of Vision

SYNOPSIS
2011年は私にとって初の長編アニメーション映画が公開された年だが、その一方で創作上のアイデンティティーが著しく揺らいだ時期でもあった。新たな目標への再出発は「描く行為の軌跡として現出する映像」の再検証から始まった。3年間に渡り「表現」の呪縛から逃れ本能の赴くままに描き溜めた膨大な鉛筆画を素材とした本作は、自己の記憶の再構築でもある。メッセージを声高に叫ぶ事なく観客自身の心象風景を呼び覚ます“触媒映画”を目指した。
My first animated feature film was released in 2011, around which time as an artist and creator I was faced with a kind of identity crisis. Towards a new goal, I started afresh by examining the images that appear as traces left after the act of drawing. For the whole of three years, I was drawing by instinct an enormous number of pictures with pencil, freed from preconceived ideas about artistic “expression.” Composed from these pencil drawings, this work can be regarded as a form of reconstruction of my own memories. Instead of expressing a clear message, the film attempts to be a “catalytic” film, that allows each member of the audience to recall the images as conceived in his or her own mind.
