GOPO
OTHER PERSPECTIVE
DETAILS OF THE WORK
"Samukawa Town, Kanagawa Prefecture. circa 2010. As an elementary school student, I suddenly found a ""gopo"" in a neighborhood park. From there, the number of gopos increased over the course of a year, and the number grew to about 2 to 30 in Samukawa alone. My friends and I, who were good friends at the time, recorded what places the gopos were written on the map of the town of Samukawa. We also searched after school every day to find out what it meant and who wrote it. For us, ""gopo"" was a mysterious word that gave us something to look forward to every day, and what it was is still a mystery to us. In this film, we go searching for the gopo for the first time in 14 years, talk about it with our friends from that time, and experience the meaning of the gopo and what meaningless meaning the gopo had in our lives, and the fragments of such memories in our lives."
