ABOUT THE FILM
An experimental
documentary about natural and artificial environments in Japan. An
uncommented view of mans relationship to nature and constructed
environments today.
The film deals with gardens, museums, scenic routs, view-points and
other accentuated environments where signs and sounds guide the visitor
through the intentions of the specific site.
Special emphasis lies on tourist spots and “experience museums” where
travel and information is substituted with the experience of seeming to
be in another time and/or place.
A film about environments extended to a state of perception where
reality is at play – as if it all was there only to frame with the
camera eye of a tourist.
