Artist Hsu Che-yu (The Making of Crime Scenes, IFFR 2022) blends his
digitally animated exploration of the relation between media and memory with an
account of Taiwanese terrorist Yung Ru-Men, a bomb maker who idolised Japan’s
suicidally-inclined United Red Army.The black-and-white images, presented as still frames, are patchy and unreal,
like our memories; both physical places and human figures disintegrate – an
oblique and compelling testament, probing unseen acts and murky motivations.
