This film is an experiment on editing, deconstructing and reconstructing, a game of collision between frames. As a narrative body disintegrates, it gradually becomes possible for viewers to pay attention to the phenomena of intra-frame intervals.

Performed with multiple film projectors and improvised sound, this live film of variable duration is an act of exploring multi-layered memories on landscape. Institutional, historical and personal approaches will be applied at the same time. Personal memory, which collides with historical context, may reveal fragments of innermost secrets.

Sometimes, the void becomes a passage to the invisible. The film is a journey in pursuit of that which saturates the forest yet eludes human perception. Flashes and darkness, punctuated by fleeting hues, conspire to capture presences that linger between the present and the yet-to-come. Surrendering to the film's orchestrated rhythm rewards viewers with unprecedented imagery. (Sung MOON)

This film is made of footages shot on the rooftop of my friend's house at Kathmandu, Nepal. Lazimpat is a name of the street where the house locates. It's a portrait of people, sunshine, flowers, and etc. (Lee Jang-wook)

The music film for Lee Minhwi's song "The Station."

Light reflects off the screen and reaches the audience's bodies, only to reflect again, faintly moving elsewhere. Sound also reflects off the walls, resonating and echoing. Light and sound do not disappear; they linger, sometimes intersecting by chance and sometimes passing by. Photosynthesis is an attempt to sensitively capture and respond to these fleeting moments.

This film is inspired by a moment of one autumn day in my childhood. The moment I experienced was impossible to be measured or represented. I became curious about this ‘Image of Time’. This film is the first step on the journey.

Changgyeong Palace was converted into a zoo in the Japanese colonoial period and continued to operate as such for some time after liberation.

A short film by Lee Jangwook

2014/variable duration/sound/16mm multi projection performer:Na, Yeonwu opening performance at Namjun Paik Art Center

Double projection with two 16mm projectors. The images begin with two parallel screens. They consist of fragments of light flashing like bursts in the darkness. As the process progresses, each projector moves simultaneously and overlaps. The sound actively utilises optical sound. In the latter part, Lee Minhwi's "The Light of Silence" is inserted.

Images out of their intended context create new context, and also provide us the perception to be able to see which were there but not seen in its own context. This work is a process of research on the world which is familiar, but at the same time full of mysteries. This film is based on the abandoned images with variable reasons. I hoped the images would be free from the logic of selection. At the same time, I was curious about the world which is full of mysteries, always richer than the personal perception. (Lee Jangwook)

When reading out loud, sometimes it is hard to tell who between the reader and the text penetrates the other. Archives are not much different, since they are always perceived through their present utility. Two young female readers invited by Jangwook Lee discover as they read – in a careful, faltering voice – various articles from the “Sunday Seoul”, a typical magazine from the 1970s, devoted to supposed female archetypes: time, bodies, voices and texts echo one another. (Nicolas Feodoroff)

On a clear afternoon, a small garden at home is surrounded by a silence that seems to last forever. Only the gestures of the cats let me experience the time of this small garden. In the garden, something is being built up, cleared away, destroyed, created. This film is an experience of garden time, which fades as the layer gets thicker.

'hibernation ' is conceived from the videotape of the wedding ceremony and the daughter's home video. In the work process, the filmmaker pays attention to the details being recorded, what I remember, and the relationship to lead it in the new detail. Hand printing performs the role of editing and printing simultaneously. As a result, the print created in this process will be a result and new material at the same time. Additive printing procedure is taken as a manner of recording in this film.

Masarap Na Kanta begins like an impressionist painting. A man sits at a table outdoors, which makes the scene look like another uneventful day in the suburbs.
