Seeikokan III
Seeikokan III is a direct animation work using ephemera and excess 16mm footage from the production of Available Light.
Available Light
Available Light explores notions of home and belonging in contemporary society. Comprising interviews with workers at the Edo Tokyo Open Air Architecture Museum in Tokyo, and fragments of conversations with renters in that city and London, a productive dialectic opens between the museum’s preserved historical ideal of the domestic and the often unsettling realities of temporary accommodation in modern cities. Combining trademark immersive sound design with impressionistic images and abstractions, Quaintance crafts an austere, oneiric and subtly affecting portrait of residential precarity.
Walking Distance
Walking Distance uses footage of Mount Fuji from Quaintance’s personal archive. It combines this material with an exploration of the distances covered and locations visited during a period of research and production in Tokyo during April 2024.
