As a child, the image captured inside a photograph was a real world to me.
As the matter of fact, the monochrome pictures from the old days made me think the world itself was constructed with black and white.
But from some time, which I really don’t remember, I recognized it was just an image, a picture, a photo.
Most of the time we are unconscious in things we do or act.
Like where we live or what we learn, or sometimes religious beliefs, many aspects nurture our unconsciousness, and as we grow up, those structures our identity.
Inside our brain, memory and image are both placed in the frontal lobe, and sometimes our memory is somewhat vague like our dream.
Carl Gustav Jung and Sigmund Freud says our unconsciousness will be revealed by defining our dream.
A human fetus spends most of its time asleep (REM sleep), thus defining dream leads to defining ourselves. Our identity is affected by touching outer world after one’s birth. Which means our true identity is more likely to be closer to our childhood identity.
As we grow up the image we used to have becomes vague. To avoid that, we have to be more conscious about our unconsciousness.
Art is like experiencing a dream to me.
And I wanted a child like me to experience this daydreaming photograph, which I filmed by using silver halide clinging marine mammal figure as if it's swimming in the sky, wishing one day he/she would think back of this photograph, whether it was a dream.
