MOV(I)E / a video installation / 2009
In 1895, the history of a film began along with the arrival of a train. As a running train presented us with the unprecedented images, the film generated the still images to move. In ‘MOV(I)E’, I experimented the clashes between the movements of trains in the past and the present to investigate the possibility of the expansion of our visual perception.
Present and past co-exist in ‘MOV(I)E.’ The different movements of the different times are expressed in moving images of each time. Colour, abstract and digital moving images in the present are overlapped on the black and white, and figurative early cinema that manipulated the speed. The movements in two different movies endlessly represent a historically important scene, providing us with a new vision through the reflections on the mirror.
