Jesse Jones

Jesse Jones’ 16mm film The Spectre and the Sphere evokes the spectres of ideology and amplifies residual voices that haunt the cultural vessels of history. It examines how the spaces of our popular imagining, such as the theater and the cinema, are also containers of historical and political impulses.


Pea

The “Pea” refers to the spirits living in the forest of Thailand. The spirit Pea sleeping among the trees is not visible to the human adult. In this film, which was shot in the village of Surin in northeastern Thailand, a boy from the village was painted black on his whole body and walked among the adults.


Haegue Yang

Through this ‘dance’ of bells, Yang’s work allusively suggests the topic of sound as the beginning force that opens up the world (as it is told in many ancient myths). Such an interest in this ‘cosmology’ also manifests as a representation of ‘orbit’ in Yang’s works. The arrangement of works gives an impression that they could move along the trajectory drawn by the vinyl tape on the floor.


Lina Selander

Lenin’s Lamp Glows in the Peasant’s Hut is a work with many points of entry. In the text piece that can be viewed as a sketch for the film, the conceptual content of the film is presented as a number of mineshafts, various vertical movements that are joined together and create a system of meanings into which viewers may descend.


Haejun JO & KyeongSoo LEE

The narrative of the film is based on an oral memory about a real event that happened in the 1970s in Jinan in Jeonbuk Province, South Korea. In the film, Haejun JO and KyeongSoo LEE discover a small boat in reclaimed land near a US military base in the city of Gunsan.
