Mototanaka Derive (2014)

Super 8 stop motion record of an aimless walk, in the manner of a situationist derive, through one of Kyoto's former outcaste neighborhoods, which continues to exist below normal Japanese living standards. Despite pro-active legislation, people from families associated with such areas can still experience discrimination. The soundtrack was created using an original apparatus called 'The Octopus'. Voltages from light sensors on the projection screen control an analogue modular synthesizer allowing the film itself to act as a visual score.
