联觉：Another Entry

“联觉: Another Entry” is a short experimental film by Berlin-based Chinese director Shihui Hu, exploring the intricate relationship between subjective experience and social reality through the unique lens of synesthesia. Inspired by Michel Foucault’s assertion that experiences are neither inherently true nor false but always a form of fiction, the film follows Mark, a synesthete whose senses intermingle, creating extraordinary associations.

Presented as a faux-documentary, the film captures Mark’s journey from the initial discovery of his condition to the profound impact it has on his daily life. As Mark navigates a world where colors can be heard and sounds can be tasted, Hu delves into the ＇fabrication＇ of truth in social reality, challenging conventional perceptions and inviting viewers to question their own understanding of reality.

“联觉: Another Entry” is a visually and philosophically captivating exploration of how individual sensory experiences shape and redefine our conception of the world, blending artistic storytelling with deep intellectual inquiry.
