And the pool was filled with water out of sunlight,

And the lotos rose, quietly, quietly,

The surface glittered out of heart of light,

And they were behind us, reflected in the pool.

Then a cloud passed, and the pool was empty.

— T.S. Eliot, Burnt Norton (No. I of Four Quartets)

A Woman with a Movie Camera is the result of an experiment and an exploration on the 16mm film camera shooting, developing, and hand printing of her father.

This film is made of footages shot on the rooftop of my friend's house at Kathmandu, Nepal. Lazimpat is a name of the street where the house locates. It's a portrait of people, sunshine, flowers, and etc. (Lee Jang-wook)

A short film as a draft, an exercise, or maybe the first segment of a long-term project tracing the evolution of my nephew's voice as he grows. In the film, he talks about when he built a snowman called Snow Ice Monster which was then torn down and rebuilt by other children. He listens to a recording of his voice and notices that he sounds like a certain Minjung, who does not exist in real life.

In the latin “tempus” and in the Korean 기상 (氣象) both the external world of weather and the internal soul are connoted simultaneously through the premise of constant change and indeterminability. The terms temperature, tempest, temper, temperament reflect this dual meaning relating the external to the internal and the self to the world as one continuum.(E)motions emerge from 2 distinct blocs of motion left to repeat and finally merge. A search for the disharmony that lurks amongst surfaces.

Illuminating, magnifying, cutting, freezing the endless night and infinite music woven through the story with light.

A short film by Lee Jangwook

Images out of their intended context create new context, and also provide us the perception to be able to see which were there but not seen in its own context. This work is a process of research on the world which is familiar, but at the same time full of mysteries. This film is based on the abandoned images with variable reasons. I hoped the images would be free from the logic of selection. At the same time, I was curious about the world which is full of mysteries, always richer than the personal perception. (Lee Jangwook)

"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." Chang Gyeong is the name of a palace in central Seoul - a palace that was turned into a zoo by the occupying Japanese.

A lot of experiences, memories, emotions, events of life have gone in life. After every sense, every experience, every memory has gone, what happened to a mind? I want to consider the primitive mind that always exist as a shadow. I thought I could just see the mind if I try to turn around my body more carefully. I found the mind through the light which is core of everything. Even if passing very fast most of all, the light existed continuously, having trace of the all events. I'd like to talk about the light flow. I newly met a flow, a texture, a boundary of light that film could be contained through printing. During the process, I also explored light flow as disappearing and changing things.

In an empty warehouse the expressive movements of a dancer tell an emotional story. Attention shifts between image and the filmstrip-from one physical to another.

Tales of the lovesick serpent “Sangsabaem” is a Korean folklore about a protagonist who dies from the pain of unrequited love and turns into a snake to express their suppressed emotions to the object of affection.

A ceollection of the artist's personal images that overlap with reality and stimulate nostalgia.

Part of the "floating rocks" series. Geomeunyeo evokes the sea where no water exists and reveals forms where there is no light. When one sense closes, another opens in an endless cycle. Through the filmmaker's intervention, Geomeunyeo repeatedly sinks and resurfaces. Shot on 16mm black-and-white film and hand-processed, Geomeunyeo highlights the physical nature of film and the subtle traces naturally produced during manual development. This repetition creates a poetic rhythm that moves between presence and absence, appearance and disappearance.

The result of an experiment around filming, developping and making hand impressions with 16mm of the director's father.

One who believes in something, a passenger, an entrance and an exit, an express train that constantly arrives and leaves. Rules break like a prayer. Derivative realities that we believe in, bodies that cross paths, the place, the sound, the time that it creates.

The message in virtual reality

On a clear afternoon, a small garden at home is surrounded by a silence that seems to last forever. Only the gestures of the cats let me experience the time of this small garden. In the garden, something is being built up, cleared away, destroyed, created. This film is an experience of garden time, which fades as the layer gets thicker.
