Our Pain, 2023   |   trailer   
16min 10sec, 4096 × 1716 pixel, music by Makoto Itabashi

Synopsis:   Our common pain, although experienced individually and uniquely, is what connects us. It is the ambiguity and variety of our existence that allows us to imagine an infinity of variables, some of these alternatives may be malignant, and some benign. 
他者の痛みは体験できない。それでも共通の痛みという幻想によって繋がり合うことはできる。想像することは祈ることに似ている。しかし同時に暴力的でもある。当事者性を奪い合う時代において、想像することの暴力性は増大していく。
