Hanabi (2019)

Short-film on identity

This film is the outcome of a video performance workshop at the XVI Outfest Perú. It explores the idea of checking what is in the closet. Here there is a survey of identity through the examination of objects collected around the world.  All objects point towards Japan. The Japanese-Peruvian culture was shattered during WWII in Peru when many families suffered imprisonment in camps and their properties impounded by the state. Others changed their surnames forgetting their history and culture.
