I am rarely moved by video art, but this piece, "Did I ? , 2013" by Hiraki Sawa at the Lyon Biennale left a lasting impression. There was a haunting, dreamlike quality to the black and white imagery, the pulse of the soundtrack, and the layering of live action and animation.
The actual piece is much longer, but this brief clip gives you a sense of the pace and aesthetic.
Reading up on it later, I came to learn the work was inspired by Sawa's friend, who lost his memory and had to re-imagine his life.
