The film was shot at the Osanbashi Pier in Yokohama and then re-shot on a matte. The mattes were changed so that parts of the landscape were partially visible and partially hidden, and the projector lens was left open and closed to create a random effect. When the film reached the end, I rewound it, replaced the matte, and shot again. I repeated this process. It was a six-fold exposure with five mattes and a mask. I created this with the image in mind of a clear shape passing through an unclear screen that is sometimes visible and sometimes not, tracing the perspective.
