Riverside Fireworks

Video, objects, and sound, 2023.

Filmed in Hiroshima’s Motomachi district—a site of wartime devastation and post-war reconstruction—Riverside Fireworks weaves together the voices of Chinese immigrants, Zainichi residents, and Japanese locals. As a man and a woman attempt to reconnect across shifting temporalities, the film utilizes close-up details and domestic interiors to navigate the intersection of personal memory and the city’s historical weight.

《河岸煙火》拍攝於廣島基町地區,該處曾歷經戰火摧殘,之後成為戰後重建與移民匯聚的大型公營住宅。本片交織了中國移民、在日韓國人與當地日本人的朗讀聲音,作品透過一對男女在變動時空下的重逢,以及特寫鏡頭與日常景觀,穿梭於個人記憶與城市歷史重量的交匯。
