It is often when we are injured or ill, that we become aware of our own body's physical existence in a new way. Swollen lumps, dull pain, infection, fever or bleeding shake us into awareness. Particularly intense are childhood memories concerning the body. Using a collage of blown up shots of skin and a subtly wavering stop-motion, this work makes us conscious of the fact that we are simply bags of “flesh”.
Kei Oyama (JP), born in1978 in Tokyo. Studied filmmaking at Image Forum Institute of Moving Image in 2000. Graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2005. http://www.keioyama.com/
