“The cat I don't own runs through windows between different spaces and times, and it disappears before finishing a sentence.
Using outtakes and rushes (what "fur film" means in Mandarin) to redeem the affects in these images we produced for. The film is the first volume of an ongoing exchange diary project between Erica SHEU and Tzuan WU. From the filming exercises and hand processing from the very beginning, we collaborate and experiment with different workflows of audio and visual between Taiwan and USA.” - Tzuan Wu

Fur Film Vol.II: “mirror mirror” (In Progress)
Johan Chang, Tzuan Wu & Erica Sheu
In progress | 16 min | color & b/w | sound
Original Format: 16mm/ Super 8
Screening Format: Digital File / 16mm film
Mirror as a verb. “Mirror, mirror” as a spell. Mirror as a noun.
Mirror somebody/something is to have features that are similar to somebody/something else and that show what it is like a synonym reflects. A sign is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect.
A drop of water stays as a temporary form on the fur of the leaves. Through a macro lens, a fragile, ephemeral existence is magnified. All the sudden, one sees it through and feels its clearness, its coldness, and its deformation coming. Delightedness, worries, and sadness come from a moment of stopped time. Trivial matter passes us out of frame as well, so we open our senses, our vision, our hearing to receive from the ecology around us.
