Gakuryu Ishii, 2005.
I often spend my days staring blankly at objects in my home, or listlessly wandering through the city in hope of temporarily ridding myself of such a foggy mind. Barely a thought, much less a coherent one. I watched this today, on one of those days, and it melted into me. I've never seen a film that captures depression in such a relatable, realistic and yet serene and even psychedelic way. It really is like this, in my experience anyway.
Craig Mod (blogger living my dream) publishes ambient videos taken on his long walks across Japan. The camera is static and he records the audio with binaural microphones. Immersive and calming. Fantastic work aid.
