(Borrowed critical frameworks #1)
"Within Kim's work, his collaborators have roles that shift between their lives and his production process, transferring identities and transforming existing relationships. Together, Kim and his collaborators narrate choreographed, fragmented encounters, transforming anecdotes, sounds, images and text into dream-like montages that explore the subjective nature of history" (from Sung Hwan Kim statement at Tate Tanks 2012) I read this text after filming the beginning of my film. It's what I'm aiming for. It's how I work.
The protagonist hero.
