Live action footage / Hand drawn and 3D animation / 9’31’’.
An Animate Projects commission in association with the James Cohan Gallery
The film is a patchwork of narrative fragments, a collage of daydreams that appears to display the lack of overarching logic inherent to all things oneiric. Shot in black and white, Did I? escapes ordinary temporalities. Erasures and recordings; oblivion and remembrance: Did I? plays with the two sides of the memory coin. By blending film, handmade drawings and 3D, Hiraki Sawa creates a strange universe, marked by surrealism.
