Haunting light and haunted spaces, otherworldly movement and abstracted time. A ghost visits an apartment complex.
I made this work because I wanted to try out the idea of floating images in midair that had come to me when making Thunder. The entire work was shot frame-by-frame with long exposures. I filmed this in the company dorm I was living in in the middle of the night after I had come home from work, and thought I might die from what had become my daily pattern of sleeping for two hours in the morning then going off to work.—Takashi Ito
Against the backdrop of a grim and inhospitable urban maze, slender shadows come to life.

Can anyone fathom the eternal sadness of a lonely ghost?—Nick Riganas
