A Short and Elegant Hospital Stay
1980, Japanese. Directed by Mikio Yamazaki.
The scene I shot from my hospital bed when I was hospitalized with a punctured lung (a condition called spontaneous pneumothorax). A snowstorm outside the window. A wristwatch that had stopped working. An apple that looked strangely vivid. Tubes connected to my body. The bodily fluids inside them.
