PART II / SELECTION BY LILY DIAZ<br />

The film is built up from that single, imperceptible instant that signals<br />

the shift from day to night, a fl eeting moment in which what was, is<br />

no more, where things might acquire fresh signifi cance. A voiceover<br />

guides us through the city, while the camera seems to be searching for a<br />

specifi c plot of land, for the coincidence between narrative and image.<br />

The topography of the site continues to advance, while in parallel there<br />

emerges a second topography – mental this time, – until, perhaps,<br />

they meet, somewhere here, in a new psychical space. Using the city of<br />

Seoul, it is a personal story that is being told. Our role is to follow it<br />

and select a locus of interpretation: truth, (urban) folktale…<br />

Born 1978 in South Korea. Aft er studying visual communication at the Ecole<br />

ROBERT HAMILTON (CA)<br />

WINONA<br />

A day spent at the Winona Peach Festival in Winona, Ontario.<br />

A series of visual studies of people at a crowded fair.<br />

05:45 min. / 2008<br />

I am interested in the moment when a person is lost in thought in a public space.<br />

The technique used in this piece is time-lapse animation, which allows me to speed<br />

up or slow down images. It was shot over a period of six years at four fairs with<br />

ordinary digital still cameras. A digital still camera does not invade privacy in the<br />

same way as a video camera. The audio is recorded separately from many sources<br />

and stands in a contrapuntal relations to the images.<br />

Robert Hamilton’s current series of video works addresses human movement in<br />

public spaces. He is particularly interested in densely populated cities. Through<br />

stop-motion photography he is able to survey the crowds, the environment<br />

and how one informs the other. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario and teaches at<br />

McMaster University.<br />
