Friendly Fire

single channel HD video, 16:9, color, sound, ca. 14min, 2011

This is a contemplative twin homosexual incest sci-fi tragedy. The voice-over protagonist seeks for the missing twin brother who disappeared entering a terrorist organization, then finds and accidentally kills the missed one. What is shown are scenes of their memory, at a transitory moment of dystopic tenderness. The story is inspired by visions of unrealized journeys to the unreachable places as well as South and North Korean relationship. The video attempts in a mysterious way to rebuild the fantasies on war, sexuality and the future, exploring the architectural aspect of a lingering projection, which represents contemporary apparatus to view "the other world".
