Synopsis
The embryos, sharing body to each other and making a change and a movement..
Director's Comment
This work is my first one about family and an aborted fetus. I have two aborted siblings who got aborted before screening for gender, so I don’t know if they were my sister or brother. After the two abortions, my two elder sisters and I were born. In a way, we were born instead of the two aborted siblings. I, however, did not really have any feeling for them before I started this work.
In Asterios Polyp, the writer mentions that aborted siblings are shadow brothers. The words invoke a new sense on aborted siblings to me. They were always with me, and did not disappear. They merely might have become the members of a different world.
If they became one member of the world of stillborn babies, I believe that they share their closed possibilities. An endless repeating measure of a prenatal music might resound to them. I imagined an indeterminate form mixed with various animals’ embryos which do not fix as a particular form. It would change and move ceaselessly. It realizes its possibility to be reborn as any existence.
This film, therefore, has been produced in a way of remembering my aborted siblings. I started this work in the context of admiring their spirit in each picture I drew. While I drew pictures one by one, the work led me to comfort the existence who got aborted, who departed this life before they were born. It was beyond my individual mourning. It is a kind of monument.
