A series of project the artist Jungju Ahn has progressed forms a new meaning as reorganizing or repeatedly arranging a film about a phase of social life. Having a question for solidly settled social structure or socialization process, the artist interested in a way to reverse existing context or transforming it into a new perspective. As making the film including a view on an unified structure, like standard or system controlling a person, the artist tries out-of-box thinking to raise a question for a familiar way. Especially, she reveals, hides, emphasizes, or collapses an object to express it through repeating and arranging image and sound.
In this exhibition, showing a performance of dancer derived from 'found footage'* of a war film, or shedding new light on a hidden social subconscious in play culture of children in the artist's perspective, the artist shows a relationship between a person and a group and socialization process.

*found footage: It is a genre of film making, which pretends to show discovered film or video recordings, often left behind by missing or dead protagonists.
