BLAUFILM

This film was made by hand with materials 16mm blank film (100m), transparent silicon, and blue pigment (Prussian-Paris blue), without a camera. There are 14,000 continuous blue pictures in this film without cuts. The reality of this work is the continuity of emotion and feeling expressed by the colour blue - a highly spiritual colour, Harada shows its emotional significance. The deeper it is, he shows, the more it awakens a desire for the eternal. You can see it dotted poignantly about in this film, sometimes as part of a far-off backdrop, and often as the outline of a mysterious mountain settlement.
