Niroe

It was constructed with footage recorded in 96 frames per second.

The slow-motion recording (96fps), which captured the dancer's movements in detail, was combined with rapid camera movements, resulting in images of unexpected sliding effects.

The usage of colors in the lighting and manipulating the colors in post-production were approached very much like a painting-process.

The smoke footage superimposed onto the images adds, at times, a complexity to the movement and, at times, functions as an imaging mask, enhancing our sense of depth.

 

HAKO

It was created with interest in making still photos into an animated like dance video.

The process was spontaneous and cooperative, with two fabulous dancers on a cloudy day in Berlin.

Huge thanks to Jermaine Maurice Spivey and Luis Alberto Rodriguez.

 

AS60

It shoot at 96fps (slow motion) while camera person swinging the camera side to side constantly.

It came out as the result of the experimentation in the collaborative/choreographic process with dancer and camera person.

There is no visual effect involved in editing process except little modification of the video footage.

 

ACENO

It explores the beauty in between elements that is controllable and uncontrollable.

 

Kretir

It is a dance film comprising video footage of dancers improvising in a room, shot from various angles and settings.

Viewing editing as a choreographic tool, Kretir explores how editing affects dramaturgy by sequencing specific footage and placing specific sounds over the movement.

 

Myo

It is focused on the idea of replacing energy flow inside and outside of human body.

 

Muan

It is inspired by the idea of inconstancy of time.

Time is constant. It always goes forward and never repeat. But it depends on our feelings, experiences, emotions it can be feel longer, shorter or feel like repeating the time has already past.

 

AR

It combines footage of two bodies and thus creates unexpected configurations of human bodily forms.

The potential for beauty is explored through the stylistic means of movement and stillness. Recognizable elements are contrasted with less clearly defined images in which the subjects are filmed from various depths and points of view.

AR thus challenges its viewers to question their conventional viewpoints about the human body.
