Une lettre à Liam
One channel video installation, digital 4k, color, 16:9, french spoken, BE, 2024, 9’
Une lettre à Liam is a poetic love letter that retraces Niko Wei’s road from Brussels to Tokyo in search of a specific image: one that represents his love toward his little brother. The journey led him to Mount Fuji, where an obsession emerged: capturing the mountain at blue hour.
In the process the project evolved into a video installation consisting of a single projected image in a black box and a voice-over, in which Liam read the letter aloud for the first time, to be listened to through a separate set of headphones.
