유서 / Will

​

This is a video which is also a will, it is motivated by the story of a person who writes a will in advance. Writing a will, a voluntary action that recalls precariousness, becomes an opportunity to look at life more clearly.

 

I lived forgetting the shadow

that had been hiding since my birth

 

Flowers are blooming on the forgotten ground

hidden in the shadow

 

The flower that I will bring when I leave

is the flower that blooms by itself,

the flower which does not fade

 

The flower in which

the talkative bud sleeps in white

 

Imagining the last words before dying, I wrote a poem. The poem was divided into four parts and used as the titles for the four stories. The movie “Yuseo (Will)" was finally composed of one poem and four stories. In the first part, I talk about death with my lover in a cemetery. In the second part, I talk about my two conflicting attitudes in dealing with death. The third part is the story of my family visiting the grave of our loved one. The last part was inspired by imagining the appearance of the last calling with loved ones on the verge of death.
