Rodents' Body Exploration

The artist works around the different individual experiences which consolidates the different changes in the body while examines intimate relationships under the structure of the disease, all by making her experience visible and public. Within the realms of Ruijing’s discussions, she hopes for the work to push the boundaries of the marginality of the body, for the work to allow oneself to look at their and others’ body in an objective manner that escapes the ontological. She further wished for the experience of living and the reflection on the mass would help the discovery of the self and its connection with society, while reflecting on life itself by doing so.

Director Lee Dongwoo of No Money, No Future (2016), created his second film with the main character of a homeless man he met at Tapgol Park in Jongno. One morning, this homeless man is drunk and approaches director Lee for money. He is a doubtful character who is often in and out of the detention center and mentions Bresson, Ozu, and Ha Giljong. He claims to have been invited to the Venice International Film Festival and the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival with his film Self-Portrait 2000. Self-Portrait 2020 is a record of strange friendships and a film of respect (homage) to a promising young film director of 20 years ago. Two directors, two films, and splendid credits.

The New World: Variations on Stay-Home Activities

In 2020, most residents on the planet were forced to live indoors for days and months due to the epidemic, which has influenced our usual work and life to some extent. In this isolation, people tend to create ways of self-entertainment and take limited exercise at home. As a result, a large amount of ordinary people emerged on the Internet and started to show the interesting bits of living indoors in their own way. They straddled the differences in time and space, and built vast webs of data in live form, in which they connected and influenced each other.

술래 SULLAE

술래 SULLAE ruptures compositions of language, power, and legibility by looking to the Moon as a conceptual site; addressing it not only as a poetic metaphor but also as a colonial site. Chun interweaves moving images of a precolonial Korean women’s Moon dance, gang gang sullae (강강술래) with fragmented consonants of the English language, Hangeul (한글) and English text, various index pages from intonation books, white noise, and word-censor bleep. The video oscillates between the sonic, visual, and semiotic; undoing the English language, its embodied violence and dominance through abstraction and mistranslation — a process the artist describes as unlanguaging. Chun highlights the way in which this dance was historically used as a means for collectively unleashing silenced anger: releasing through song, bellowing, yelling, and circling under the Moon.
