Gathering

The anime follows a man as he leaves his apartment for a simple stroll in a park. During his walk, he passively observes the environment around him. He notices a man engrossed in a newspaper, a statue of a kangaroo, and small flowers blooming in the grass. These everyday sights, encountered unintentionally, are then gathered within his mind. The observed objects undergo a transformation, their shapes altered and trimmed, ultimately residing in a specific corner of his consciousness. The anime explores the process of memory formation, examining how we consciously and unconsciously absorb and retain information from our daily lives. It is a graduate work from the Tokyo University of the Arts, focusing on animation.
