DREAM : THE BIRTH OF CHILD

In Korea, there is a word called ‘Taemong’ that predicts the birth of a child. ‘Taemong’ is not just a dream that tells you directly that you are pregnant, but a strange dream that have a story. So people often realize that it was a ‘Taemong' after they became pregnant. I tried to bring this fantastic charm of 'Taemong' into my work. And I wanted to create a video that stimulates imagination through the combination of dream and the birth of life. Thus, I made VR video as a method that gives experience to people about 'Taemong'.

The video tells the story of someone(=you) who follows a strange woman. While watching the video, you don't know exactly why you are following her. This characteristic is similar to the flow of our dreams. After watching the video, however, you can dimly see why you chased the woman.
There are three spaces in the video. Each space has its meaning.
The first place is the movie theater. As the saying goes, "Life is like a movie", I put the meaning in this space that each person has a wonderful stories​​​​​​​.
The place to follow the movie theater is the child's room. The same room comes out in succession, giving a mysterious feeling of dream.
The concept of continuous rooms was inspired by Franz Kafka's book 'A Dream'. And visual expressive elements of rooms was referred to the movie 'Ready Player One (2018)'.
The last place is an empty space. Only she stands alone and you get closer to her. But as you get closer, you look up at her as if you're smaller. Eventually you go into her inside. I tried to express this empty space to feel like a uterus.
