    HYUNGKYU KIM, Hear the Wind_Across the Border
    ‘360 degree view through media’ extends the viewer’s role from passive recipient to neutral onlooker or even to an active observer. Viewers confront a 360 degree sight of landscapes looked through the perspectives from Imjingak; Yeonmijeong in Ganghwado; Yongsan redevelopment area; and the site of the Admiral and the historical statue of Soonshin Lee in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, Korea. The artist throws in an underlying question to the viewers who became the independent observer on visually opposed ‘South and North’ ‘Generations’ and ‘Individuals and Groups’.

    SUNGJAE LEE, Avyakrta
    moving painting, 3min 23sec
    The mountain viewed from distance may feel serene and slow, yet the small and fast elements comprise parts of a mountain and thus form the whole. Likewise, AVYAKRTA is composed of small elements such as humans and trees, which move at gradual pace within abstract structure. The artist applies the technique of high speed cinematography in his artwork to represent the long-term process of transformation of human body and mind, and constant and eternal relationship between individuals and groups.

    수바시 테베 림부(Subash Thebe Limbu)는 네팔 동부에 위치한 약퉁 림부족 아티스트로 사운드, 영화, 음악, 퍼포먼스, 회화 및 팟캐스트를 활용해 작업한다. <Ladhamba Tayem; Future Continuous>는 원주민의 행동과 존재가 시공간의 연속성에 녹아들어가는 미래를 보여준다. 매우 다른 시간대를 살아가는 두 원주민-18세기 약퉁 전사와 먼 미래의 우주비행사 또는 시간여행자-사이의 대화를 통해, 시공간의 연속성에 존재하는 우리의 잠재적 역할을 탐구하게 하며, 향후 추구해야 할 가능성 있는 미래를 찾는 데 주목하고, 동시에 식민주의에 대항하며 갈등을 극복할 것을 상기시킨다. 이 작품은 시간이란 고정된 것이 아닌 가변적이고 직조 가능한 존재임을 보여주며, 우리가 어떻게 미래를 엮어 나갈지에 대한 질문을 던진다.

FINALISTS

  • GRAND PRIX
    SUBASH THEBE LIMBU (b. 1981, Dharan)

    Subash Thebe Limbu is a Yakthung (Limbu) artist from Eastern Nepal. He works with sound, film, music, performance, painting and podcasts. Ladhamba Tayem; Future Continuous imagines futures where Indigenous people’s actions and existence is in the space-time continuum. Through the conversation between two indigenous people from very different timelines – a Yakthung warrior from the 18th century and an indigenous time traveler from the distant future – the film asks the viewer to investigate their own potential role in the space-time continuum in searching for the possible futures to strive for, while reminding of the fight against colonialism and struggles to overcome. The work plays with the idea of time as not something rigid but ductile or weavable, which in turn paves the way for questions like how we might want to weave the future.

    SU HUI-YU 수 후이유 (1976년생, 타이베이)

    수 후이유(Su Hui-Yu)는 타이페이에서 태어나 대중매체, 대중문화, 계엄령, 동아시아와 대만의 식민지 이후 역사 간 연관성에 대해 탐구한다. 그의 작품 <The Space Warriors and the Digigrave>는 계엄령 시대 대만이라는 섬나라의 집단 기억에 대한 독특한 경험을 바탕으로 민족주의, 유교, 광신적인 애국주의 가치관을 시사하는 판타지와 민담을 결합한다. 오픈소스 AI툴과 전통적 영화 촬영기법을 결합하여 제작된 이 작품은 국가, 정체성, 성별, 도덕 및 이념으로 여전히 투쟁하고 있는 사람들에게 형이상학적으로 또는 기술적으로 화해의 해법을 제시한다.
