A “Ponpoko Mountain” is an air playground equipment of white color, which is set at a park in Japan. It is a trampoline like a snow mountain and children are jumping and playing on its top. This short film is a black and white work that portrays the appearance of children playing ingenuously in the unique landscape where there are domed curves, by using a combination of moving and still images. It was made to be inspired by a word of a sculptor, Constantin Brancusi, who once said: “who is no longer a child is no longer an artist”, which is quoted in the beginning of the work.
