AIUEONN

AIUEONN

In AIUEONN we see and hear Iimura pronouncing each Japanese vowel in turn. Then image and sound part company: we see him pronouncing one vowel but hear him pronounce another, working through every possible mismatch. The images of his face are also distorted, as if creating grotesque caricatures to represent the sounds. For the OtherFilm Festival, Iimura will introduce a new level of complexity by performing the soundtrack live.
