A Crowd
ABOUT
A crowd of people gathered to see something. Their eyes are busy confirming their beliefs. This film uses a film scanner, but it is not a film. It is the assembly of images scanned frame-by-frame. A Crowd forms a trilogy: Belief, Crossroads, and Dinosaur. The film focuses on what we see. Each work of A Crowd trilogy features different types of crowd images and smoke images. Belief has concert crowds, football audiences, and spectators at the monumental sites, etc. Crossroads captures the numberless crowded streets of cities. And Dinosaur has images of discarded materials.
Yeonu Ju explores how images acquire time by studying the contextual meaning of cameraless filmmaking that recycles previously produced images. She is interested in discovering a new order from the ambiguity of rules and disciplines required within the society and studying how it can be applied well to the way of production for moving images. Her works have been shown at museums, galleries, and festivals worldwide. She lives and works in Seoul.
