Ektachrome

Ektachrome (ektachrome9999) is about a soul trapped among Barcelona’s crowded buildings, and a girl who can’t stop thinking about him. Shot on Kodak Ektachrome 100D Super 8mm film.

Narration:
在这片街区里流传着一个故事,讲述着一个生活于楼宇之间的灵魂。他穿梭于狭窄的阳台与屋顶之间,来来回回。他与那里日积月累的情感共生,也与所有曾被诉说过的故事相伴。从未有人真正的见过他,但有人说,当阳台上的蜡烛被点燃,当满月照亮屋顶时,他们能够听见他的声音。白天,我为夜晚迎接他的到来做着准备。但有时他会害怕。所以我尽量让自己藏起来,静静地待着,与我的植物融为一体,甚至闭上双眼,不让月光映在眼里。

There is a story in this city about a soul that lives among the crowded buildings, flowing from narrow balconies to rooftops and back again. It lives with the emotions that accumulate there and with all the stories that have been told. No one has ever seen him, but some say they can hear him when candles are lit on the balconies and when the full moon illuminates the rooftops. In the daytime, I'm preparing for the night to host him. But sometimes he's afraid, so I try to be invisible, staying still, blending in with my plants, and even closing my eyes so they won't reflect the moonlight.
