synopsis

What was a part becomes a whole, the deep becomes the surface, the organic becomes the digital. Through her masterful work with layers of image, collage composition and sound, the director creates transient stabilisations of space that she then questions. Even so, her film ultimately appears to be the result of very precise observations of the rhythms and forms of animate and inanimate nature.

"I create a painterly, cinematic canvas where textures intertwine and collide on the screen. The process of layering allows me to weave different times and spaces together, transforming the familiar into a new perspective." – Youjin Moon
