"My films are often characterized by rapid bursts of fleeting images. They are ephemeral, transient. As soon as an image is born, it is dead already, supplanted by another cycle of life and death, and it goes on and on like a frieze. The eye can’t hold but its lingering echoes. The cinema for me is not truth 24 frames per second, as the cinematographer Raoul Coutard once said to Godard; rather, it is death 24 frames per second. Or it is life 24 frames per second. Either way, it is saying the same thing. And truth is elsewhere. Truth is somewhere in broad daylight, unnoticed by us who pass it by everyday. But to be locked in Plato’s cave is in fact a privilege of the artist, not a misery. For the artist is the one who finds clarity in the darkness of the cave: clarity away from truth. Which is a humbling truth for the artist." - Daïchi Saïto
