“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.” Changyong is the name of a palis in central Seoul - a palis that was turned into a zoo by the occupying Japanese.
The print was made at Nanolab while Jangwook was in residence earlier this year.
Water Spell Sandy DING

"Sandy Ding's WATER SPELL is a bold, abstract journey that takes us into the psychic interior of our very cellular structure... and back. For me, this film is about reincarnation and transformation, on both the spiritual and sub-atomic levels. This is not an easy film, but it is a powerful one."
--Nina Menkes
The print is a gift from the filmmaker.
