In the Desert, single channel video, 2025
In the desert where once a town existed
Reading. Temporal occupation. Performance in silence.
"I heard you want to make film."
Do you believe in love?

1. 사라짐, 질병, 죽음의 감각이 스며든 세계 속에서 애매함 투성이의 단어인 ‘이미지’는 이것에 어떻게 힘을 더하고 있는가? 이것은 인어라는 매개적 존재를 통한 시선과 이미지, 사라짐의 불안과 두려움에 대한 에세이 필름이다.
1. In a world where the senses of disappearance, disease, and death permeate, how does the ambiguous word "image" contribute to this? This is an essay film about gaze and image.
2. 신화나 미신은 영원히 붙잡을 수 없는 타자에 대한 상상의 결과물이다. 또한 유럽의 바다는 식민지적 상상을 낳은 장소이기도 하다. 영상은 실제하는 푸티지 영상과 허구적 이야기, 그리고 아날로그적 드로잉의 스탑 모션의 결합물로 디지털 편집술, 아날로그 기법의 혼종적인 상태를 지향한다. 겹쳐지는 이미지는 이전의 이미지들을 지운다.
2.Myth and superstition are the imaginative products of an encounter with an eternal, elusive Others. Moreover, the European seas are places that gave rise to colonial fantasies. The video combines actual footage, fictional narratives, and analog stop-motion drawings, aiming for a hybrid state of digital editing techniques and analog methods. The overlapping images conceal and layer over previous ones.
3. 스크립트(Script)
- “해수면에 비친 빛때문에 물고기와 인어들을 볼 수가 없어졌어.”
("I can't see the fish and mermaids because of the light reflected on the sea surface.")
- “왜 구글에 인어를 검색하면 다 머리가 긴 여자 형상인거야?”
("Why is it that when I search for mermaids on Google, they all look like women with long hair? I dislike Disney")
“이 뼈들을 봐봐.”
(”Look at these bones.”)
“먼 시간에서는 이 뼈들을 보고 괴물을 상상했어.”
("In distant times, they looked at these bones and imagined monsters.")
“그들은 대체 어디에?”
(”Where are they now?”)
“이 곳에서는 저 곳의 거인을, 저 곳에서는 이 곳의 난쟁이를.”
( "From this place, they see the giant of that place, and from that place, they see the dwarf of this place.")
Pfear Notes[Samples:], single channel video, 2025
[Part of the script]
Aging. Not having a park where I live. Getting sick. Rotting. Eating spoiled food. Getting sick because of it. My spine curving. Not realizing it’s curving and leaving it unattended.
Losing family members. Being in a cramped space with many people. Passing by strangers. Seeing people as things to be passed by. Things that are too fast or too slow.
Fights. Arguments. Getting startled while watching a horror movie.
Anxiety. The fact that this moment might turn out to mean nothing.
Goodbyes. My pet dying.
Seeing a small animal hit by a car while walking.
The thought that it might have been because of me. Aging. The feeling that I’ll grow old having achieved nothing.
“’Poop’ towards ‘F’”

Pfear Notes [Sample:] Play! (For the Old, the Sick, the Baby, and the Knight)
[Statement]
<Fear Notes> is a project starts with personal diary filled with lots of fears in daily lives. The image on top is a sample image. Basically, this video is a thearitical format. There are two reading performers in the video. They share their own fears living in the society. It includes personal traumatic memory and the worries about contemporary society like climate, politics, extra. Two different people have experienced different lives, but there are simmilarities in their voices.
As suggested by the title—which deliberately entangles the timelines of past, present, and future ("the Old" as the past, "the Sick" as the present, and "the Baby" and "the Knight" as the future)—this play is a collaboration between two individuals who share memories and traumas of the past, and fears surrounding the present and future: artificial intelligence, environmental crisis, and cultural anxiety.
The play features two dialogues between Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, excerpted from Cervantes’ Don Quixote (Parts I and II):
– In Part I, Sancho tries to stop Don Quixote from attacking windmills that he mistakes for giants, monsters, or enemy armies.
– In Part II, what seems to be a demonic encounter in the forest is later revealed to be an actor playing the role of a demon, simply walking home after the performance ends.
By reenacting these moments, the artist reflects on recurring historical fears and proposes the figure of the Knight—as a witness and companion—as a vision of the future.

<Statement>
At nearly 12:00am.
I found a big curved twig which is too heavy to hold by one hand.
This dark way seem dangerous to me, as a foreigner.
Curved twig can protect me and tell me the way going home.
The shadows of myself and twig seem monstrous at the same time
keeping disappear and appear repeatedly.
