What would emerge if the repressed pain (念) felt by countless women over the ages was put into form through dance?
Taking a starting point from the ballet classic ”Giselle” and the Japanese ghost story/butoh "Oiwa San", a different vocabulary, figure, and shape.

My new film "Endless Correspondences” in collaboration with composer / sound artist Reiko Yamada was officially selected for the Pool 21 International Film Festival.
Returning to Mary Ellen Mark foundation studio in Soho, NYC.
I returned to @maryellenmarkfoundation studio in Soho for the first time in eight years.
Mary Ellen Mark died 2 years after this shoot. She was a true New York artist and a true hippie who traveled around the world with her pigtails and one of my most respected dynamic photographers of this generation. She was very kind and friendly.
Her core teams, Meredith and Julia, and Mary Ellen’s husband, Martin warmly welcomed me and showed me original b-roll polaroid photos that I haven't seen since shooting.
