KIYOMI KOBAYASHI

This is title video of my personal art film<KIYOMI KOBAYASHI——Sword and fire> The film will have three parts：Sword and fire、The Mask、The end of the love

It is the art work I want to make after my first trip to Kyoto this year,I was really impressed by the great temples ,garden and people there,I felt very peaceful when I was in Kyoto.Unluckly,I didnt have a chance to watch the performance of geisha at thattime,but I saw a lots of geisha walking on the streets,It's like time never passed!

In this video,I portraied the 1872's Kyoto in my thought, The geisha Kobayashi and Hideyoshi fell in love with each other, and he became her lover. However, due to the war, they were separated from eachother forever. I hope this story will bring people's attention to the cruelty of war, as well as the status of women during those times.

ENJOY!

小林清美——劍于火

這是我個人短片作品三部曲之一<小林清美——劍與火>的片頭視頻設計，這個故事由三個故事組成：劍與火，面之具和末日之愛

這是我今年去京都之後想創作的一個系列作品，這次的京都之旅給我的感觸很深，是我第一次去日本，我被那邊的建築，園林和人所震撼，整個人在那時候覺得非常的平靜安逸。很可惜，去了抵園，卻恰巧那時候閉關，和藝伎的表演錯過了，不過在京都的路上見到了很多年輕的藝伎，穿梭在人流，車流，當代古代建築中，那種強烈的對比給了很多靈感和啟發，感覺時間從未流逝，仿佛一下回到了100年前...

劍與火主要說的是年輕的藝伎小林清美和她的戀人丰臣秀吉的愛情故事，由於身處幕府統治的年代，武士道精神根植于人們心中，當戰爭來臨之際，戀人不得不永久的分離...我希望這類故事能喚起人們反思戰爭帶來的惡果，也同時希望人們可以關注女性在當今社會的價值和意義。
