Yuichiro Tamura

2009 / Film / 15 min

The Lumière brothers, who improved Kinetoscope from studying moving images and discovered a screen projection, held a screening of projected motion pictures at Salon Indien du Grand Café in Paris on December 28, 1895 at which admission was charged. Especially "Arrival of a Train at a Station" was noted as it made the audience shocked due to the scene in which a train ran toward a camera direction. This film is known to be taken at the la Ciotat station.
A model train arrives. It passes by, yet it comes back. On a freight train, it stocks feed for a mouse. A person tries to feed a mouse controlling the train. A delicate relationship between a mouse, which cannot be controlled by a human, and a train, controlled by a human is entangled. What is capable for a human and what is not?
