Preface
Lately, my thoughts have been undergoing a process akin to surface erosion, where the inner self opens up, and the outer self becomes more receptive, facilitating communication. Despite the intentions of those who seek joy only "for the sake of art," a concern emerges. I, who once believed my memory was deteriorating, now find myself perplexed, as unnoticed, a part of my attention has quietly nurtured the birth of new inspiration. Thus spoke L.
Harmony
While listening to Howie Lee's "Time to the Sun," a scenario, Project 3, suddenly flashed through my mind. Perhaps my enduring fondness for ancient and melodious vocals has fueled its conception, responding to the diversity within human voices.
Impression
I attribute the birth of the scenario to the influences of Alejandro Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain" and Philippe Garrel's "The Inner Scar." At some point, my memories started to blur, forgetting the names of works and their authors, losing track of associations between works and individuals. Yet, vivid impressions still emerge sharply.
Conceptualization
Though influenced by Alejandro and Philippe, the scenario is vastly different. It borrows the earthly world from "The Holy Mountain" and the desolation from "The Inner Scar." A short film is crafted with the purpose of "For the Art's Sake," depicting the human world amidst the waste landscape. "Chain-melted Walk" portrays an independent journey amidst two contrasting environments.
Epilogue
It's a case of hindsight. Initially indifferent to Chinese music artists, Pan Daijing's work has become increasingly provocative. Li Huadi inspires rejuvenation.
