Amnion
Finland, Japan / Experimental / 7' / 8mm / Color / 2023
Landfills on the fringes of cities reveal all about our culture, habits, fears and desires. Here treasures turn into trash and the excess of our discarded welfare and cheap labor dances in the wind. Amnion is a dark and melancholy vision where the organic merges with the synthetic.
