My Phantom Limb

The making of this film harks back to a time when the ideas of Spiral Spectrum were still taking shape.

During that period, a live version of Swans' track "I Am Tower" was playing—an echo that accompanied the filming process. The cinematographer listened attentively, striving to find a portal into another realm of perception, amidst the rhythmic dance of music, light, and leaves.

A moving image captured by the director in 2025 depicts a late afternoon at a Catholic school in Thailand, as children leave for the day, mingling with teachers and parents waiting to pick them up. At a stone bench, two brothers, JAVA and JINO, are seen chatting, the elder being a friend of the director. The footage, originally shot on the director’s mobile phone, was later transformed to evoke the style of a silent film: the visuals were toned to resemble aged black-and-white film and accompanied by music from City Lights (1931) by Charlie Chaplin, enhancing the atmosphere reminiscent of the silent cinema’s final years in the early 1930s.
