Intersections

Hart Ginsburg
United States, 2022, 5 min.


Recently, we had the chance to visit family in Japan. Years have passed since living there, so naturally memories revisited me. It was the mundane moments, such as on the trains, local markets and transient interactions with others that revisited me. Without a deliberate intention to film, only with a cell phone and notepad, a thought percolated: Shall I revisit the infamous Shibuya intersection? From there the cell phone camera took control. Initially, the project began with stills, but it soon transformed into video footage. In terms of conceptualizations, intersections as a metaphor relating to themes around “intersectionality”. In how we hold various identities, depending upon contextual variables. But then, where do these identities or intersections of our lives lead us to next? That's for you to decide.
