What Is Diamond Sutra About?

The premise of Diamond Sutra without spoilers.

Commissioned by Taiwanese architects Michael Lin and Liao Wei-li for their Venice Architecture Biennale exhibit, this short film was created by Tsai Ming-Liang as part of a project exploring the “Walker” concept.

The director shared that observing steam rising from a rice cooker evoked a poignant memory of his mother's final moments.
