Moojin Brothers, <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.
