Radar Vienna AUSTRIAN Award

Created using a machine built by the artist, the film documents an old commercial district in the heart of Seoul, South Korea, currently undergoing rapid and dramatic transformation. The artist explores perception limits through flickering images and rhythmically interrupted light pulses. The film’s visual texture is shaped by the rapid rotation of the camera and influenced by frame rate and shutter speed. The flickering acts not only as a visual effect but also generates a ghostly landscape where past, present, and future seem to merge.
