[INFORMATION]
김소영, 이애림 | 2021 | 실험 | 13분 35초
[SYNOPSIS]
두 북한 소녀들(1955년 캄차카 이주 노동)의 시선으로 고려 사람들, 식민지 시기 광부들의 먼 곳의 묘소, 부재한 묘소를 바라본다. 식물들이 태양빛을 받아 광합성(Photosynthesis)을 이루어내듯, 망자들의 사진을 화광(harvesting light)한다. 아카이브 이미지들에 빛을 비추어 역사의 페이지에 올린다. 양자생물학의 빛의 수확(harvesting light)에 영감을 받은 작업
[DIRECTOR'S NOTE]
망명 삼부작의 마지막 <굿바이 마이러브 NK: 붉은 청춘>에서 소비에트, 카자흐스탄에서 활동했던 북한 출신 작가 한진이 죽는 곳에 고향만큼 정다운 이름을 붙이고자 했던 언명을 일제 강제 동원 역사관의 아카이브 사진들, 우슈토베, 사할린의 고려 사람 사진들과 묘소들을 통해 이미지화 하는 작업

[SYNOPSIS]
Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora is a work in remembrance and re-animating the significance of the burial place of people by synthesizing photos of different sources. The photo of two North Korean girls offers a template of harvesting light over the photosynthesis of miners of the colonial times and migrant of Koryo people. The work is inspired by the quantum biology to evoke the political ecology of archival images.
[DIRECTOR'S NOTE]
Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora opens with a line from Han Hin(1931-1993) born in North Korea and sought a political asylum after denouncing KIM, Ilsung while he was a student at VGIK, worked and lived in Russia and Kazakhstan. He throws a question, "We call home where people are born but what do we call where people are buried? It should sound as tender as home." This marks an opening scene of Goodbye My Love, North Korea(the last film of Exile Trilogy). His calling for affectionate naming for the place of burial is yet to be elaborated.
There are three kinds of photos either from archive or collection mobilized in Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora. The first one is a photo taken in Камча́тская о́бласть in 1955. In the photo, we see two girls against a humble building. They are sisters whose family name is Kang. They were born in Hwayang, Kangwondo, 1941. She left North Korean in 1948 and lived in надский until she moved to 키흐칙. They worked on the fish factory. The second set of photo is part of the exhibition curated by LEE, Youngwoo. The photos were provided by Foundation for Victims of forced mobilization by Imperial Japan(일제강제동원피해자지원재단).
The third layer of Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora is connected to the graves of diaspora Koryo saram. The introduction of Harvesting the Light: The Graves of Diaspora and photosynthesis alludes to the overlapping practices of theory and image making/rendering in the digital age partly governed by the dissemination of quantum knowledge pivoting on the notions of entanglement, superposition and defraction.
