Frantic

Jung-Chul Hur: Frantic

Jung-Chul Hur: Frantic

The footage in this film comes from a coastal town in Thailand called Bang Poo. The place is well-known for having an abundance of migratory gulls and terns. It is also a popular domestic tourist destination famous for its seafood restaurants. The footage was digitally modified and duplicated, and, through mirrored imagery, alluding to a kaleidoscopic hole. In the beginning, we, the viewers, can anticipate images of bird motion. However, soon after the image of the birds starts to create a visual vortex. The viewer encounters a massive bombardment of these images. Sounds were recorded at the same time as the images were filmed. Thai viewers will understand that some voices in the film are of children shouting mostly about food as if they were in a feeding frenzy much like the birds. The film takes a benign view towards the subject allowing the viewer to identify with the film’s frenetic activity.

Radiate

Jung-Chul Hur: Radiate

Jung-Chul Hur: Radiate

Radiate is an abstract audio-visual short film of constantly changing colours, light, shapes, lines and sounds. It combines the radiation of visual elements and mechanic sounds to create a dynamic representation of the spectacle itself. Viewers will experience an intense sense of anticipation, tension, surprise or probably a kind of catharsis. The work explores how our eyes and ears respond to this non-narrative but purely abstract cinematic experience.

Jan Verbeek: Osmotic

Jan Verbeek: Osmotic

A young parking garage attendant with hat and trench coat and long arms conducts the cars to the one or other exit. The precise operation appears like the choreography of a powerful dance. The character of images and the musical composition annihilate boundaries, outside world and inner world merge.

A Beautiful Dream (version 2-Sirima)

Jung-Chul Hur: A beautiful dream

Jung-Chul Hur: A beautiful dream

A Beautiful Dream (version 2 –Sirima) is the second version of A Beautiful Dream which is video by Jung-Chul HUR (Korea) with the music of The Photo Sticker Machine (Thailand). The work tries to visualize a memory of love. The central character is at first revealed to us only through the massive kaleidoscopic images of movement which represent the encounter and acquaintance. Afterwards, she is revealed in the perfect form of her dancing in multiple, which is a metaphor of bliss. This dance is the material everything in the piece has been made from. Soon after, however, the image of her vanishes and we are left with only emptiness. She’s gone just like that… like a few minutes dream.

A Meditation on Dialogue

Myoung-Woo Kim: A meditation on a dialogue

M.W. Kim: A meditation on a dialogue

What is the true meaning of dialogue?
Does it mean a verbal exchange without any physical conflicts? Or does it mean a serious spiritual combat (death-defying combat) in order to be free of dogma, prejudice and egoistic attachments? What is the meaning of violence? Does it mean a physical force used in destructive way? Or does it imply non-verbal and verbal forces of disintegration. Where is the beginning of violence? Where is the end of dialogue? Will it be possible to witness a dialogue transcending time and space in this power led world?
What is dialogue?
