Chang Gyeong new_releases Release: 02-13-2025
"Emotional memories that had formed the ambiguous boundaries between reality and fantasy began to divide exactly in two, and at the same time there was no emotion left on either side of reality and fantasy." Chang Gyeong is the name of a palace in central Seoul - a palace that was turned into a zoo by the occupying Japanese.

Ring Ring 2024
The office, as an everyday space, holds subtle tension and creative potential even within its monotony. This work reconstructs such a space, weaving the latent movements and sounds of office supplies into a rhythmic flow. The photogram technique explores the boundary between materiality and immateriality, creating moments where familiar objects feel unfamiliar. Through this, the audience discovers new expressions of everyday objects that often go unnoticed.

Part 1. Camera and Toe 2024

Buseok 2024
A man searches for memories of his family's past, alternating between Geomeunyeo, Buseok Temple, and his grandmother's house, all of which are located along a straight line on the map. Geomeunyeo is a rock located in the reclaimed area of Buseok, Seosan, South Korea. It was originally a reef that was exposed above sea level, but is now above ground. The name of Buseok, which means floating rock, is said to be derived from Geomeunyeo.

Mulgogi 2024
I continue to indulge in the illusion that I am a fish.

A Floating Diary 2024
I often envisioned floating images. Not knowing where they were heading or why they were drifting left me feeling uneasy. So, I decided to observe from a distance. I layered the moments when I felt myself floating over the gestures of drifting. Could the image of floating, settled onto film, provide answers to these questions?

Fragment 2024
This film begins from what is unseen rather than what is seen. The act of connecting fragments is carried out by the audience. Images that were once unrelated become intertwined, and something unfolds in the spaces between them. That which does not flow is dead. Fragment is a collection of images derived from this sentence.

To Turn a Door of Memories 2024
What is this incessant noise that keeps ringing? It sounded like the roar of the wind, the hum of passing cars, or the sea breeze sweeping through the streets. It felt unfamiliar. The lights of the night, the towering and intricate buildings illuminated by smooth LED surfaces, come alive, dancing with faces and bodies. Seoul is a whirlwind—a devouring maw, a cacophony, a rapid stream of images that leaves your senses struggling to find focus. And so, I set out to trace this intriguing sound. One of them comes from the roof of my home. It originates from the wind and evokes the repetitive beat of a drum. On se souvient des pas begins here. Through a geographic and temporal journey as the camera transitions from one scene to another, the film encounters Korea's history and traditions. This is a kind of journal—an attempt to grasp the essence of this land where I lived for ten months.

Slice of Time 2024
A photograph of someone. They are emptied, replaced by something else. I discover the vertical side of 8mm fits with the empty screen.

L’arrivé de la Nu(it) 2024
Through repetitive negative film printing, I abstracted scenes in which black and white are endlessly exchanged. Images of Lumière(;light) brothers' arrival of train, 35mm photos of train station I shot in France, and female corporal images from my experiences and memories were used for this performative process.

Glistening Seagull 2024
You moved as if shimmering and rippling water and I danced above like a seagull. The film explores visual reminders of objects and surroundings of memory to the void and absence tied to it, offering a path for the mechanism of memory. The imagery is contradicted by found sounds that operate as triggers of the past or as debris in the present. The film notes a new category of space-time.

Two or Three Things I Know About Him 2024
The result of an experiment around filming, developping and making hand impressions with 16mm of the director's father.

Prayers Congested Space 2024
One who believes in something, a passenger, an entrance and an exit, an express train that constantly arrives and leaves. Rules break like a prayer. Derivative realities that we believe in, bodies that cross paths, the place, the sound, the time that it creates.

Humming of a Deaf 2024
What the director's grandfather went through during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Change 2024
A short film as a draft, an exercise, or maybe the first segment of a long-term project tracing the evolution of my nephew's voice as he grows. In the film, he talks about when he built a snowman called Snow Ice Monster which was then torn down and rebuilt by other children. He listens to a recording of his voice and notices that he sounds like a certain Minjung, who does not exist in real life.

Zen for 100ft 2024
To prevent the absence of sense from becoming an absence of image, the image obtained on the retina after passing through the pupil and the lens must pass through the blind spot before arriving at the optic nerve. A dark room is a blind spot in an image.
