Private Project

A Long Alone

The record of discontinued time and place, from dying alone to discovery.
One year period after a person’s solitary death is shown in time-lapse. Inside the house, there are traces of his fierce life, and the audience can guess his life by following the traces. The house stays at the time of his death. On the contrary, the exterior landscape constantly changes, giving a feeling of contrast to the house. A year later, his body is found, and the scene of his death is cleared by special cleaners.

Director Statement

The video was made with modeling the actual background when cleaning the room. I wanted to say and alert that a solitary death can happen to anyone, with not showing a specific person’s
figure.

실제로 특수청소를 진행했던 배경을 모델로 영상을 제작하였다. 인물의 모습을 삭제함으로써 고독사가 누구에게나 일어날 수 있는 일이라는 경각심을 주고 싶었다.
