Earth

2009 · 40 min

A hypnotic, unsettling meditation on bodies in limbo, drifting between stillness and breath, demanding patience and rewarding it with haunting imagery.

Directed by
Ho Tzu Nyen
Overview
We see the site of an unknown disaster, the debris of history that constitutes the story of Earth. Upon the site, lay fifty 50 humans oscillating between consciousness and unconsciousness, life and death. Sometimes, one of them emerges into the foreground - clutching a fist, batting an eyelid, or weeping for his neighbor. At other times, these figures recede from the light, losing their individual shapes to form a gigantic organism, breathing in unison, pulsating like a jellyfish, though their journey across Earth. (Ho Tzu Nyen)
