[About the Work]
I express undulate steady rhythm like heartbeats with hands and feet, and indicate colorful pop sounds with props and stage. I want you to enjoy the limited world change with a fixed point camera from overlook.
It is “Night” that I imaged from this music. The alley where the light burns. The town filled with crowds. The shining starlit sky. The sea of the high tide.
"All" of night time from sunset to the sunrise.
