"This
documentary video work consists of footages of my neighbors and
family through the course of 9 months period. What happened in
my everyday life was captured in an extremely spontaneous way.
Every scene, which is arranged in chronological order, represents
each event happened in each specific days. The scale and flow
of time of the video work is very similar to that of the actual
happening of events. Thus the viewing requires endurance in order
to acquire this experiential metaphor. Through this process, viewers
get to observe whatsoever changes the maker, myself, happens to
have. Since each scene holds different ideologies or thematic
structures, the whole piece holds multiple subjects and numerous
vanishing points. It is a grand collage of bits and pieces of
images in the manner of Structural films. Therefore the fundamental
structure exists in a space where an artist cannot take a whole
control over its manipulative representation. It is an imitation
of how nature is perceived by us, especially through our memories."
