Space Cell

Uncompromising and shocking portrayal of the life of a French pimp and his wife exploited by him as a prostitute, who stay together in an almost post-apocalyptic post-industrial landscape. Shot on grungy Super-8. The first hour focuses on the everyday activities of the man and woman. They consume cheap food, watch TV and nasty porno, they receive customers and combat each other with psychological power games. Despite emotional numbness, the woman tries to escape. She makes friends with another woman, but then decides that returning to the man is the easiest option. The return of the other woman heralds the very shocking finale. Not for the squeamish.

Filmed at Hongjecheon in Seoul, Mokgamcheon in Gwangmyeong, and Gulpocheon in Incheon, the film captures the impressions of three streams in three different cities. Each of the three streams intersects and overlaps with images of the filmmaker’s own body.

"Emotional memories that had formed the ambiguous boundaries between reality and fantasy began to divide exactly in two, and at the same time there was no emotion left on either side of reality and fantasy." Chang Gyeong is the name of a palace in central Seoul - a palace that was turned into a zoo by the occupying Japanese.

A trace of private observation and recording of another person's memory. This work is based on the video recordings of Lee Woo-jung's mobile phone. It is expected that the traces created by the method of repeated superimposition will create different layers of time and emotion. Through this process, the structure of other people's records gradually collapses, and I pay attention to the new structure that emerges from the pile of ruins.

'hibernation ' is conceived from the videotape of the wedding ceremony and the daughter's home video. In the work process, the filmmaker pays attention to the details being recorded, what I remember, and the relationship to lead it in the new detail. Hand printing performs the role of editing and printing simultaneously. As a result, the print created in this process will be a result and new material at the same time. Additive printing procedure is taken as a manner of recording in this film.

A man searches for memories of his family's past, alternating between Geomeunyeo, Buseok Temple, and his grandmother's house, all of which are located along a straight line on the map. Geomeunyeo is a rock located in the reclaimed area of Buseok, Seosan, South Korea. It was originally a reef that was exposed above sea level, but is now above ground. The name of Buseok, which means floating rock, is said to be derived from Geomeunyeo.

Images out of their intended context create new context, and also provide us the perception to be able to see which were there but not seen in its own context. This work is a process of research on the world which is familiar, but at the same time full of mysteries. This film is based on the abandoned images with variable reasons. I hoped the images would be free from the logic of selection. At the same time, I was curious about the world which is full of mysteries, always richer than the personal perception. (Lee Jangwook)

The work(ing device) that resembles a clock does not allow the fixed time to be fixed, in order to perceive the actual time sense. It is not a sort of clock that assumes and measures the absolute time, but the image itself which arises from the power operating under the film and the relationship with the power. The image, which is the reality itself, cannot be divided by a membrane of celluloid. Which exists as being real oscillates between the area of the virtual and the realm under the physically acting film.

Changgyeong Palace was converted into a zoo in the Japanese colonoial period and continued to operate as such for some time after liberation.

This film is inspired by a moment of one autumn day in my childhood. The moment I experienced was impossible to be measured or represented. I became curious about this ‘Image of Time’. This film is the first step on the journey.

Everything was beautiful. This film aims to approach melancholy through the ordinary material of "May roses." It moves with the flow of personal sensation, fascinated by the desire to hold onto fading images and the allure of vanished traces. It is also concerned with the nature of film, the gaps between frames, and the gaps between memory and oblivion.

On a clear afternoon, a small garden at home is surrounded by a silence that seems to last forever. Only the gestures of the cats let me experience the time of this small garden. In the garden, something is being built up, cleared away, destroyed, created. This film is an experience of garden time, which fades as the layer gets thicker.

The short moment was captured on film when light turned off, and copying and transforming the images make it longer. Then we realize that such operations are what all living things have carried out.

A Woman with a Movie Camera is the result of an experiment and an exploration on the 16mm film camera shooting, developing, and hand printing of her father.

The journey is a process during which many substances are brought to me : receipts, tickets and plastic packaging are easily thrown away. However, these materials contain all the time, language and air of the city. I wanted to collect things that were recorded but not saved and explore their properties. First, I printed travel documents such as receipts and tickets. Then I randomly inserted audio from videos taken at the travel destination. This work is a travelogue that goes beyond visually stimulating images of tourist attractions.
