Park Chan-kyong

The video “Citizen's Forest” is a critical allegory of Korean modern history as well as a requiem for the many nameless people who sacrificed their lives during those tumultuous periods. He acknowledges lives that are too easily ignored. In this film, Park Chan-kyong makes visible the South Korea he claims he grew up in: ‘militaristic, repressive, modern state.’ The work ultimately becomes a meditation. It also becomes a parade of death. It was nice to meet the ghosts of South Korea’s narrative.
