Latency Contemplation 3

Seoungho Cho / United States, Republic of Korea (South Korea) / 2018 / East European Premiere / 10 min.

synopsis

The disappearance of flowing textures of fluid and rocky landscapes alternates with patterns set in a grid of homogenous horizontals in a simple lyricism of hypnotic image and sound compositions and views of unexpected rhythms in flowing montages.

"My ongoing questioning of the oscillations between my internal visions and the outer world comes with its own intrinsic intuition and metamorphoses my perceptions." S. Cho
