Ulysses

Synopsis

This is one action about memory. During the process of reading all the diaries of my childhood, a person without name, a figure that has disappeared in the memory, suddenly appeared. I went back to the memory of scene, looking for the evidence of her existence. Our memory relies on the reproduction of technical objects made by us. Our experience of the past only comes from the traces of the past, forming the so-called world. The film is an overture of “sisyphus project”,which will last for few years as a spatial narrative plan. Every sub-forks of memory maze lead to Ulysses’s way home.
