Can it be logical to miss a place you've never been to just because you saw its vision? Even when local • physical limits do not determine the limits of audiovisual today, this fictional longing is like a ghostly sighting. The ghost is something that everyone understands its nature, regardless of the establishment of logic. An interesting being that cannot be proven but on the other hand wants to believe.
There is something creepy about the longing scenes that deviated from the timeline. To feel nostalgico on something is because you feel absence, and to feel and miss the vacancy of something that did not exist in the first place gives the illusion of 'something has existed and disappeared.' Assuming that you are visiting an ordinary empty house, the moment you mobilize your imagination to regard it as a 'place that originally had something but has now disappeared', it becomes a creepy ghost house. The artist wanted to capture such ghosts. The artist sees ghosts.
