Director‘s Statement:
The structure of part Ais fictional, the flesh of itare often real, two men appeared in the film, Icredit them as ‘tourguides – actors -experience providers.’
Part A is like a show on the stage, while part B depicts how this stagewas destroyed and gone.The main characters of both two parts are the destroyed buildings and city landscapes in different status, ‘the visitors’ reduced to bethe supporting roles——
in part B they are people with different purpose and identities that come on to this stage: the demolition site; me and two of my friends in this film, we are also ‘visitors’, we are images cavengers.
After all, one will see, that the stable ‘stratum’of the society no longer exists.
