Witch Wander Whistle

Filmed during lockdown, Back to Back is a performance film about care centred around a phone conversation between a cleaning agency employee and a woman trying to empty a locked fridge. When the two women meet-up they engage in a strange dance through the streets of Seoul, locked together back-to-back in a movement of mutual support and dependence.

Whispering Saucers derives from a sonic transfer experiment on parabolic antennas—in which, by standing at a certain point, the antennas can transfer whispers through their curves and send them further distances. The performers are asked to wander around and make various sounds, but when they face each other, they must mimic one another. Who will mimic who—this enigmatic communication becomes somewhat of a power game. The play of Whispering Saucers suggests that loud and clear communication is not essential to understand each other. What matters is where you’d stand to understand one another.

A group of people, possibly only a few survivors from a global sleep which everyone went through in these two years, have woken up and gathered to play a game of Wink Murder.

Through the interview with Captain Heebok Ahn (Korean Air), the film reviews the current working condition and cosmic radiation exposure of the aircrews by comparing the case to a historical industrial accident of the 1920s: Radium Girls. The film suggests that there will always be victims of technological progress and labour complexity. Still, most victims on such occasions are often the most vulnerable people of late capitalism, in this case, women.

A part-travelogue, part portrait film about a hoarder friend in Tokyo and handing him over a questionnaire diary to clean his room on his own.

A fake documentary quoting 《A Little Princess》 (by Frances Hodgson Burnett, 1905) to depict young, precarious museum workers living in an unstable working environment. When the night comes, a woman who works at a nearby museum goes on a weasel hunt in Jungnang River to earn pocket money. Young, highly educated female workers who move between short-term contracts and part-time jobs may be the girls in ermine coats, but the film suggests that they are the ermines for a coat.
