Listen to the wind eight hundred times

In 2025, working with a 1909 hand-cranked projector inspired my first experiment with hand-painting on film. This fragile 35mm scroll reflects life’s impermanence; as I manually turn the gears under an 800-watt light, history flows through a „crack“ in time.

The title, „Listen to the wind eight hundred times,“ draws from a Chinese anecdote about finally perceiving the landscape and Dao of life.
