year: 2018
running time: 20 min.

synopsis

A meditative evocation of the South Korean “Candlelight Revolution” in the winter of 2016/17. The hybrid mosaic, in which archival and contemporary footage is altered by visual manipulation and performative moments, shows artifacts, situations, and gestures reflecting the desire for political change. 

"The sense of vulnerability facing the unimaginable change made it only possible to borrow the quotations from the past and the future." S. Kim, J. Cho

Sungeun Kim (1984) was born in South Korea and now lives and works in Berlin. She experiments with film, but also often works with theater directors, musicians, and actors on audio-visual performances. Her primary theme is human rights, and she is involved in political activism.
