<The Old Man Was Dreaming About The Lions>
Text: Jiyi Shin, Somi Sim, Moojin Brothers, Korean, English, 2022
There is a 97-year-old man who has lived for nearly a century in the house he built in his youth.
In The Old Man Was Dreaming About The Lions – Volume Ⅰ, Moojin Brothers observe the slow and uneventful flow of the old man's time from an intimately close perspective.
What once appeared slow and cumbersome from a distance gains new vitality through the constantly shifting wrinkles and subtle vibrations of his movements.
The Old Man Was Dreaming About The Lions – Volume Ⅱ explores the living stories of the old man, his son, and his grandson across three generations.
The subtitles of the video—'Ha-Ok(夏屋)’, ‘Ah-Mun(我門)’, and `An-Taek(安宅)` —each reveal different measures of `home.` Rather than forcibly stitching together the stories of these three generationally disparate lives coexisting in the present, Moojin Brothers observe them contemplatively in their fragmented state.
By independently rearranging the disjointed stories of each generation in the video, they ponder how new connections might be possible within lives marked by separation.
