Eun Hyung Kim

An object contains a message. For example: a bunch of red roses is seen on a screen, what can we imagine? Whose birthday? Or a wedding proposal? And then, a diamond ring, a cake and a white dress are seen, then, a gun is seen, then, the ring in a puddle of blood is seen, what can we imagine? It is possible to imagine various situations and to receive many kinds of messages and emotions. However, we might think and imagine similar expectations about that, because we already have experienced the objects, either that is real or not real.

Therefore, we can usefully use characteristic marks of objects through media. So, when I produce my practical works, I attempt to apply relationships between objects and humans in the media. When objects encounter humans, how do they move in the scenes, and how could the scenes be combined with spaces, sounds, and so on. Of course, cameras and computer programs have very important roles in this work.

The working process is: drawing - scenario - storyboard - making stages, sculptures, clothes, and objects - meeting people, choosing roles and spaces(taking photographs) - sending scenario - arranging schedule (weather) - explaining scenes - practice the scenes - shooting - acting - editing.

There are cases of making films and videos, when theaters and performance are made, the processes are changed, but, the starting point is drawing. These media are my methodology for producing works.

My practical work is dealt with the subject: "Relationships and communication between humans and objects?through my methodology. Previously, my other films and videos have existed with dialogues between people. Speeches could explain the scene easily. However, sometimes that limits the scene, even in our thinking and in our feeling. This film do not have dialogues between people, although, I attempt to produce other languages, such as body language and also by using objects and sounds and so on without speeches in this film. The characters represent symbols of individual situations and positions in this society. The matters are combined to each other by various lines. I began to research relationships between object and subject, saying and seeing, spaces and sounds, people and media though various searching processes in this film. Even if, we can not perceive itself of object, because we always perceive a part of that, nor we do not perceive the totality of object or image. The reason is that we just perceive interesting things by our psychological requirement, or our economical concern, and ideological confidence.

This film is mixed forms of digital videos and filmic structures. I attempt to use various media such as analogue media: drawings, writing scenarios, dancing, et cetera, and digital media: videos and films, making sounds and music to use real sounds through computer programs, of course, at that time, the real sounds are also recorded through recording machine.

I have attempted to produce films, performances, theaters and so on by similar subjects from 2006. Therefore, I am able to approach more and more toward the clear point. My methodology is also functioning to approach the culminating point. And also, I will constantly try to find out new and innovative ways.
