OVERVIEW

DURING THE INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION OF KOREA IN THE 1970S AND 80S, WORKING AND HOUSING CONDITIONS GAVE RISE TO NEW LINGUISTIC DEVELOPMENTS AMONG THE WORKERS. I MADE THIS SHORT FILM AS A DIRECTOR ORIGINALLY FOR AN EXHIBITION IN SEOUL, WHICH ILLUSTRATED THIS INDUSTRIAL PERIOD IN SOUTH KOREA.

IN ADDITION TO DIRECTING THIS VIDEO I TOOK ON THE ROLE AS A CINEMATOGRAPHER, EDITOR AND COLORIST.

I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS FILM TO THE WORKERS OF GURO INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, WHO APPEAR IN THIS VIDEO.
