Earlier this year, while navigating through various film scenes on YouTube, I observed the parallel narrative structures that emerge when breaking into and breaking apart a film. Both actions preserve the temporal flow but serve distinct purposes in their respective moments. The film remains constant, yet the act of storytelling is always evolving. This tension introduces a linear element to the viewing experience. I became intrigued by the idea of deconstructing this linearity and reorganizing it as a series of disruptions or commotions in filmic memory, shaping the film’s overall narrative.
My goal was to explore how these changes occur, not only in relation to time, but also in relation to each other. This raised an interesting question: “What actually changes over time?” As more scenes overlapped, the individual impact of each one diminished, eventually blurring into a collective whole—a fusion of colors and impressions.
In this process, films seemed to escape the confines of the frame, becoming a fragmented, narrative-driven interpretation of memory—a fictionalized version of truth that reflects the order of recollection.
