I found a very interesting story in the book "Indian Mythology" by Katsuhiko Uemura. It is poetic and gaggy in some parts. Once upon a time, a mountain had wings and flew around. When the mountain landed on the earth, the earth shook with a roar...". This story was made up by Brahmins (monks) 4 to 5,000 years ago. It is said that those in power at that time ruled their people by making up interesting stories. Is it the same today?

All spiritual phenomena are cause and effect. Human karma is deeply involved. Those who have been consumed by negative karma. Those who are caught up in the karma of others and wander in darkness. They still cannot be exorcised, but appear as retribution to those who have the same negative karma. This collection of images is a compilation of images of the spiritual phenomena that have been recorded and handed to us to be verified as the retribution of karma. Those who feel the karma of this collection of images must be equally possessed by the same karma.

The disappearance of homeland and the dislocation of memory make us question eternity and the meaning of home. A long-existing lifestyle disappears suddenly and people cannot figure out whether man or the nation will conquer nature through rapid development.

This may be the case with all works, but 'Winter Sleep' in particular feels like each and every scene was made with great care. The story of a young man who suffered unpaid wages may be a bit of a common theme, but 'Winter Sleep' is a movie with great absorbing power. The natural situations and acting allow you to become immersed and empathize throughout the movie. I feel unfair, tired, sad, and angry along with the main character, Seongju. I want Seongju to get the unpaid wages and make good movies, I want my younger brother to become a civil servant, and I want the CEO to go bankrupt. And I also want to eat chicken. A different brand of chicken than the one Seongju ordered.

"Dong-dong Village," the largest slum in Cambodia located in the capital of Phnom Penh, is the location of this documentary that speaks of hope. In the slum, children are able to survive today by picking up refuse that others won't, selling vegetables and other things. There are no books, no toys, no study, and no school in their world. There are no dreams. One day, people came from a place called Korea. These people set up a "school" on this abandoned land that no longer cares for its own, and the school is totally out of place. Hope School is where the Korean Principal Lim Man Ho and the Cambodian school children will meet. This film is the 8th year of their story.

The work was shot in Chongqing where Yu Guo lives. The artist utilises a camera with 8000mm digital zoom to capture the farthest objects that lens could reach. Because of the refraction of air and the limit of distance, the images that taken from kilometres away becomes blurred. Yu Guo continually adjusts the focal length in the process of shooting. Then, these unclear and ambiguous objects are inserted into the original or different video clips by re-editing or a collaging way. Through the misplacement of vision and the transformation of context, the original information and reference split in the images. Yu Guo attempts to interrogate the physical distance between himself and object, the relationship between subject and object in the video, and then re-examine the individual relationship and psychological distance in real life.

‘Body’ is an object we are all familiar with. For British sculptor Anthony Gormley, it is a medium for expressing thoughts about space, while for young female artist Wang Ying, it is a potential vehicle for expressing emotions. This documentary uses a split-screen method to create a three-dimensional space like a "body". It not only explores the artistic concept and development of Wang Ying, a female artist born in the 1990s who studied in the UK but also completed it on this basis. The documentary creator (me) thinks about her and her body, from'meeting','seeing' to'existence'
