Walking on the Chairs

Walking on the Chairs

There are people cleaning the stadium, where excitement and cheers pass by. When the difference in their cleaning skills and speed is revealed, it looks like walking on the seats is a sport or competition. As these scenes are shown, the collected conversations are read out.

Chroma-key and Labyrinth

Chroma-key and Labyrinth

Chroma-key and Labyrinth is a short video made using the Chroma key compositing technique and delicate camera movements. This video juxtaposes two kinds of "hand movements": a cable- worker's hands installing cables and the same hand movements removed out of their work context, thereby stripped of any value of labor.

Ellie's Eye

Ellie's Eye

Jeamin Cha's new essay-film examines the complex relationship between mental health, new technologies, ethics, and efficiency through the use of original and found material. Its namesake, Ellie, is a virtual avatar developed by the University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies that is capable of interpreting human speech and gesture to reveal psychological distress. The film questions what it means to see, be seen, and be seen through in the face of disembodied artificial intelligence.

Autodidact

Autodidact

The video shows magnified images of Youngchun Hur’s investigative materials he studied and his handwritings, while two different narrators tell a story. (The script was made based on my conversation with Mr. Hur about his struggles, in which he went against the state’s cracking down on his attempt to unearth the truth over the last 30 years. The topics of conversation also include politics and key life events of the time, and the forensic evidence he found.) The two alternating narrators are Mr. Hur himself and a man in his early twenties. The work attempts to reflect the “voice” of the others through reading the material only with eyes, reading aloud, and re-reading by a different person’s voice.

Fog and Smoke

Fog and Smoke

It is difficult to distinguish between fog and smoke. But if you go inside and feel the particles sink over your head, the fog will be cold and the smoke will be hot. There was something very shocking about the foggy things, the fence-covered things, the deported things from the city, and the things that suddenly turned into useless trash. "Fog and Acting" is a work that focuses on the idea that meaning should be found from such objects. I stare at the fear I encountered in the middle of acting, the ultimate fear. Smoke rises in places where human imbalance, hatred, and aggression are suppressed. No, the fog descends.
