by recommendation from N, listening to Julianna Barwick's The Magical Place and putting a few collages together. words turn into objects that define their space. these collages will then be put together for the music video of 'we are the wild'

belonged to someone before.
the ease of looking. the difficulty of having.

found fotos at the mauerpark flohmarkt. that place is like a graveyard for things once cared or uncared for.
and now i've found them.

updates: i'm updating my website which means i'll have the latest project for www.jumpercablefilms.com and my reel up. stay in touch.

from one part to the other, the city seems to continue, multiplying, buildings also.
multiplying its repertory of images. there is no thickness- invisible cities, Italo Calvino.

only the faces of things as thin as paper.

tokyo tokyo! wir fliegen nach tokyo!

ignore the bad hook. Bite the good hook and grow an interior paradise where the strangest creatures lie and play with the softest, feet still attached to the earth.

this city is about waiting to get there,
freeway as perpetual in-between space.
what do all these people sitting alone in their cars think about?
getting there. just keep on getting there.

Here, There from kathy kwon on Vimeo.

This video is an exerpt for the collaboration work with composer, Roozbeh Nafisi to accompany his piece, 'Orchestral Santur' in a live performance. It is founded on the concept of the city that lives in a constant state of 'becoming' with layers of erasure and appearance- a grand construction site of lost and retrieved memories and projections into the future. It is particularly a reflection of two post-war cities- Berlin and Tokyo. The performance consists of video projection, santur live performance (Nafisi) and recorded santur piece mentioned above. The combined effort of prepared parts/live improvised performance also highlights the concept of memory and its (ir)relevance to the life of the present.

Video is made by motion artists, Sara and Kathy Kwon, who currently reside in Berlin.

a korean folktale
"mom, did you always have such a scratchy voice?"
"no, it's from all the screaming at your dad all these years. i was a gentle little lamb and he turned me into a wolf."

thinking is long, action is simple
i've had a bundle of tangents stemming from the 'core' of the work i've been pushing buttons on since days- all the possibilities it could turn into something else. i guess it is already something else than i had imagined. as david lynch from 'catching the big fish' describes, - follow the idea. let the idea instruct me to keep and discard the ways in which it wants to manifest itself. or something like that.

music in your ear

is music in your psyche. it penetrates the subterranean levels of your consciousness and they set the tone to your movie. what scene are you living in the moment?

i was thinking of naming this blog, whythehellnot but it was already taken.. then whythehecknot- but that too. usually i have to sit anxiously and play anagrams with my name and find ways to be so clever and witty to come up with names but i stuck with the 3rd choice: mightyswell. and come to think of it sounds like might as well as well. cool. where here i go with the first post that said nothing too meaningful. i'm gonna post stuff about stuff i find interesting and link to my website to show some of my work.
