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.

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.

A chronicle filming the journey from the directors' accomodation in Seoul to the Space Cell labs and workshops.

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

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.

Sensus Communis: The circumstances of the artists associated with their workshops are very diverse. At a time when it is difficult to occupy even a square meter of residential space due to unequal economic and social conditions, artists who own or rent studios to produce art have continued to walk a tightrope between thought and reality. How is it possible to do what you want? Depending on the type of work and socio-economic conditions, the occupation method, space size and use are very different. - Studio Score: Artists experience physical and movement perception in space and time, right in the studio. The place is used, the body is treated as an important element and the boundary between art and life is broken, leading to new aesthetic experiences.

Illuminating, magnifying, cutting, freezing the endless night and infinite music woven through the story with light.

"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.

The result of an experiment around filming, developping and making hand impressions with 16mm of the director's father.

“I almost drowned when I was five on a family trip, but I don’t remember anything. I just knew it, because every time my family got together, they talked about it. A few years ago, I asked my family about this incident. I discovered that my mother had completely different memories than other family members. It’s the only (dance) sequence in the film.”

fotofiction is a film that adds time to the photos by printing them on 16mm using photos taken on 35mm black and white film around the hometown since 2011. It is about novel-like stories that occurred on this island, listing scenes left behind by people and nature as time passes.

This work is a sort of documented film of live performance with improvised communion with music as replacing the body of dancer into film.

Synchronic and diachronic figures and texts are mutually connected, at the same time, however conflict each other. The figures and texts reveal what are visual, objective, and real. Images on the film, which is the most basic material in cinematography, are like words and symbols in language in that they are also part of the material. Visual symbols and written language need to be intertwined to visualize images. Evoking vitality in cinematography, long-term effort and language play a dual role in movies.

Dream is obscured when someone remember that. Image is distorted when I touch the film. Death, relaxation and fantasy.

The office, as an everyday space, holds subtle tension and creative potential even within its monotony. This work reconstructs such a space, weaving the latent movements and sounds of office supplies into a rhythmic flow. The photogram technique explores the boundary between materiality and immateriality, creating moments where familiar objects feel unfamiliar. Through this, the audience discovers new expressions of everyday objects that often go unnoticed.

A ceollection of the artist's personal images that overlap with reality and stimulate nostalgia.

My dog, who lived with me for 13 years, had never seen the sea in her life. I wanted to go to the sea and say goodbye to her through film, without knowing the existence of the sea.

Part of the "floating rocks" series. Geomeunyeo evokes the sea where no water exists and reveals forms where there is no light. When one sense closes, another opens in an endless cycle. Through the filmmaker's intervention, Geomeunyeo repeatedly sinks and resurfaces. Shot on 16mm black-and-white film and hand-processed, Geomeunyeo highlights the physical nature of film and the subtle traces naturally produced during manual development. This repetition creates a poetic rhythm that moves between presence and absence, appearance and disappearance.

One who believes in something, a passenger, an entrance and an exit, an express train that constantly arrives and leaves. Rules break like a prayer. Derivative realities that we believe in, bodies that cross paths, the place, the sound, the time that it creates.
