Drowning Dew — art labor

The film is a critical yet poetically fictional depiction of rapid changes of environment, landscape, human habits and society in Central Highlands of Vietnam. The film series contain 6 mini pieces that are based on Jrai myth of posthumous metamorphosis. The myth acts as the loosen narrative framework, and as allegory of inevitable transformations of the area during this modernization and industrialization.

“we are scarred and skinned over with flakes from antecedents - incarnations - history.

we live then revive by destroying our own self.

6 binaries of life and death are loosely based on Jrai belief about existence that all ends at a dew vaporising into nothingness for a new metempsychosis.”
