Asanoha–which translates to “hemp leaf” from Japanese–is a film projection performance and materialist film intervention utilizing the traditional geometric pattern of the same name. The six-star shape that forms the basis of the pattern is said to symbolize growth, vigor, resistance, and prosperity. The pattern is drawn and carved directly into 16mm film and presented with two film projectors.
