Director Statement
Like Itae’s words from the film, we are not seeing the reality of the world (input,) but rather the reality interpreted by our brains such as information, images, signals (output.)
The film, “Trans” outlines such structure of the brain as its plot and follows the flow of subconsciousness rather than the emotions of the characters and the drama, drawing a map of multiple subconscious like painting an abstract work of art.
The story displays humans in brains (trans,) unfolds with the evolution of brains in humans (transhuman,) the state of trans (dreams/ coma / subconsciousness) reveals itself in reality (déjà vu,) and the world that our brain sees (trans) merges and repeats to create our realities.
The plot reflecting the structure of brains and objet (the tesla coil) were used to tell a narrative of liberation of humankinds in a dynamic manner.
