Futsuu no Seikatsu

A visual meditation on the fleeting nature of the present moment, where the mundane becomes transcendent. This short film turns daily routine into an act of almost sacred mindfulness.

Ordinary life repeats itself every day. The succession of moments that we repeat over and over again is never the same, and everything changes and wavers. The moment we touch something, our consciousness can go to a place that does not exist anywhere in the past, nor in the future. In an uncertain and fluctuating world, only the feeling of the body touching something, which exists only in this present reality, can be recognized as “now”. That moment is lovely.
