For the Unseen
Camera, written, and edited by Chi-Jang Yin
DV, 12 minute, 2007
A memoir of a reconstructed and fragmented relationship is presented by the absence of the subject. The abstract imagery is integrated with an imaginary situation in which my father (unseen for 18 years) and I talk to one another. The scenario was influenced by partially factual and real interactions between us in a different time and location. This video references the constructed and subjective qualities of memory, and the manner in which subliminal family relationships intertwine with the question of individual existence.
