The Night of the Factory Girls

This story begins with a photo taken a century ago during the colonial era. The director goes to Yeongdeungpo with a camera to find any trace or signs of factory girls in the photo. There are no large factories anymore, only apartments, department stores, racetracks, inns, steel factories, restaurants, unidentified places, or empty ruins. Through the lives and landscapes of Yeongdeungpo, the director wants to discover any traces that factory girls might have left.

Anthropocene

We discard our trash every day, but do we really understand where it goes? In bustling metropolitan areas, tens of thousands of pieces of waste are discarded every day, yet most of us are unaware of how these materials are handled. While some waste is carefully sorted and recycled, the vast majority is incinerated or ends up in landfills. This film delves into the hidden processes of waste management that lie beneath the surface of modern society, shedding light on the intricacies of a process that often goes unnoticed.

Flowers Blooming Backwards Into Noise

Flowers Blooming Backward Into Noise is a 20-minute animated “documanifesto” about AI art. It explains how Diffusion models work, as well as their entanglement with composite photography, statistical correlations and eugenics. In the end, the film veers into the director's own work, and how he sees his work: as bending the tool to create images that may not be beautiful, but are a product of rejecting automated characterizations of images, bodies, and human beings.

Test prep students and filmstrips cannot resist (p). However, I have doubts about the preceding proposition (p) by making the following playful arrangement or associative reasoning, and I try to examine the possibility of its negation (~p). {α(1)=CSAT(수능), α(2)=Conformity(순응), α(3)=Non-CSAT(비수능), α(4)=Non-Conformity(비순응), α(5)=Anti-CSAT(반수능), α(6)=Anti-Conformity(반순응), ... , α(2n-1)=?, α(2n)=?, …} This work is filled with direct or indirect image(s) related to this arrangement or reasoning. Between the chain(s) of these image(s), there is (I believe) a certain emotion mixed with anxiety, remorse, anger, etc.

Lifetime of Coal

Coal-fired power stations are the first to go in responding to climate crisis. However, the greenhouse gas released during the combustion of coal is not the only problem. We find unfair social structure on the path of coal consumption. In the whole process of mining, moving, burning and disposing coal, the contamination and damages have been pushed to the local mining areas, the laborers, and the nature. We can’t, however, continue to grow at the sacrifice of someone else. Development through exploitation has reached the end. About time to realize that our economic growth is relying on the deep-rooted externalization. Now, what do we need to change?
