Somewhere in the distance - Two-channel video
Hometown, existing in memory and imagination, is a place of birth and growth in the spatial sense, while the conflicting emotions towards it are an "incurable modern disease".
Starting from the research and collection of historical events and the excavation of individual stories, the process gradually revolves around individual experiences in specific locations, telling stories that have been forgotten, silenced, and misunderstood in the historical context of changing era by creating narratives that coexist with facts and fiction.
The core narrative of the project was constructed based on the stories of three characters, all of whom have very ambivalent relationships with their hometowns. They deeply excavate space, repair, and construct themselves during the process of recollection. Hometown is incomplete, one might even say unreal. It is a feeling, an imagination, a shadow that cannot escape, echoing with distant and endless echoes in the vicinity, in which one wanders and in which one flounders.
