Constellations
LEE Jisun 2018 0:07:45 3D ComputerStars, each of them is a complex and huge world itself, become a glittering point in our eyes and becomes a hope and a past. The star is also a mediator that connects to the light of the past of someone, and the light of the future that creates the person. The memories that passed through the present are colored in droplets, and the droplets become a big star once again. Those light dots draw imaginary lines and become constellations that weave together and fill the sky.

The Night the Stars Chorus - For the Lonely Death of Lee Sangchun -
SON Youngdeuk 2019 0:05:11 3D ComputerThis animation is based on the poem <The Night of Singing Stars> written by IM Hwa to mourn the death of LEE Sangchun. LEE was IM’s contemporary and a member of the Korean Federation of Proletarian Art who died at the young age of 28. He was an actor and artist who joined the movement for Korean independence at a young age, but he ended his own life under the repressive Japanese regime. Perhaps the reality of his story is reflected in the deaths of workers in the present day.

What has happened since then?” A small fishing village near the city center, a child who wakes up alone in the middle of the day walks around in and out of the house looking for his mother. Through the back door of a yard, the child goes to the beach and suddenly disappears. The child who becomes a drop of water by a touch goes to a deep lake in the sea and stays along with other drops of water.
