Haiku d’État

In this project “Haiku d’État ”, I explore the possibility of an anthropological film making approach by applying the typical principles of haiku, a very short Japanese poetic form. The abbreviated acoustic and visual senses in haiku are able to accomplish both the aesthetics and visual-anthropological values of a film. The theme of the first film of this project is to find “Belgium” by capturing soundscapes, daily scenes and polyphonic mindscapes of migrants and temporary visitors in Belgium including myself.
