In the video are 6 of my friends with different nationalities and occupations, but all live away from their home country where the local language is not their mother tongue. I asked them to tell their story about a certain pair of glasses in their mother tongue, projecting their memory to my glasses in their hand. The text was translated by me- with the unfamiliar languages, I tried to pick keywords and fill the gaps using my imagination based on knowledge about these friends, their gesture, their voice tone, etc. The piece deals with language barrier and biased perspective.
