A journey through the pages of my mother’s old Chinese-English dictionary. Combining ink drawings on paper with direct animation on 35mm film, various definitions of the Chinese character for ‘walk’ take on meanings in turn literal, historical, personal and abstract. An experimental animated short about language, meaning and moving through the world (one drawing at a time).
