Around the time of the Inter-Korean Summit, the kinds of ‘art’ presented to the South Korean public were benign travel sketches by a few painters. The painters depicted the people or landscape of North Korea as “peaceful scenery of a foreign country” as if they were camels along the Silk Route. But there is something “impure” in the paintings, different from other ideologically “pure” paintings produced by other artists around the time.

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.

There were so many cameras at the Candle Demonstration in 2008. I also had a camera but I could only shoot at daytime because I brought a super 8 film camera. I could never film the candle or water bomb parades in early June when the daytime was not so long.

The screening triggered an identification-process of the fugitives with the protagonist of Kurosawa’s movie, as they recognized their similar desperate situation. It was followed by an experimental setup of cinematic improvisations with refugees and actors, focusing on the exploration of fears and uncertainties surrounding the nuclear catastrophe and ongoing threat of radiation.

Exhibition is a video about art, its reception and the discourse it generates as well as the work involved in the production of exhibitions. Exhibition reflects the rituals and conventions of the social dimension of art and the failure of educational projects based on assumptions of the universal aesthetic experience.
