A Monologue About Home

After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, I reached out for a Ukrainian who studies in Beijing. Born in Russia, his father was Russian and his mother is Ukrainian. As the war escalates, his hometown was also bombarded, and his family breaks apart while his mom seeks for asylum in Bulgaria and his stepdad staying at home. He is about to leave China, feeling lost about his next destination. Gradually Mark and I have more resonance. And the pain caused by war started to strike me too.

Taean

During the Korean War in 1950, the Bodo League massacre began in Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do. On July 12 of that year, Taean Police Station massacred 115 civilians just before retreating from the 'fraudulent reality'. At that time, state power massacred these civilians only through the assumption that they would sympathize with the People's Army, which is about to occupy Taean. The damage in Taean didn't stop here. The People's Army, which occupied Taean, massacred 116 civilians on the grounds that it would punish the reaction. However, this was only a preview of the catastrophe that was to follow.

Being lost, he tried to find another way out. To pursue a spiritual world or monetize traffic and gain wealth, which will be his next step?

Rosha

The Rorschach Inkblot Test was created by Hermann Rorschach, a Swiss psychiatrist, in 1921. The test employs a series of ten inkblot cards, and the test taker is asked to provide their perceptions or perspectives on the presented images. The test was considered effective in identifying and diagnosing schizophrenia and was administered to Nazi war criminals in an attempt to understand the Nazi personality. Often criticized as pseudoscience, the Rorschach is still used and remains controversial. The test is often referred to as Ro-sha (short for Rorschach) in Korea. The film Rosha tells stories spoken by a girl named Rosha. It is a photogram of the ten inkblot images on B&W 16mm film. The images overlap and break apart, leaving impressions on the film surface. When the film is projected, the printed inkblots turn into Rosha's glossolalia,* which lies between language and non-language.

When Elephants Come to Town

The film "When Elephants Come to Town" is heavily defined by its rhythm. Hyejeong Yun frees themselves from linear narrative structures and chooses a subject-centric narrative out of multimedia-based documentary methods. From this, Hyejeong combines their own experiences and observations with found footage film and collective euro-centric myths. – everyday experiences and institutionalised balances of power – In these connections, she is creating multi-sensory collages of photography, sound and film.
