A beautiful cameraless film based on the text and structure of a haiku, “breath” explores the interplay between sound, image and written word. The soundtrack is created by an optical light reading of three haikus and one short poem, all written by ninth-century Japanese poetesses. The film’s structure is based on the five-seven-five syllabic composition of a typical haiku.
