A History of the Wind
In the windless city of Chengdu, memory beckons. Its power forces one to confront disappearance. Thus, one becomes the wind, and disappearance merges with memory.
在无风之城成都,记忆再次追寻而来。无从逃脱的我们唯有直面消逝。就这样,我们化为风,消逝也成为记忆的一部分。
A History of the Wind is a silent cinematic work dedicated to the wind.
The initial inspiration, other than natural life forces, was my reading of Alain Corbin’s innovative microhistory, A History of the Wind (2023).
Wind has many faces: physical, emotional, and spiritual. Cinema’s capturing of this ineffable presence is my overriding aspiration.
