Tugging Diary documents a footbridge over a year between August 2019 to January 2021. Due to social unrest and the uncertainty of various immediate happenings, both the internet and physical spaces act as critical communication platforms of its own during this period. As such, information can be circulated in the community more widely and rapidly outside of the existing mainstream media. As time goes by, these materials are continuously altered, some were renewed, while the others were removed, covered with paint, or overlaid by other information.
Anti-war movie in the true sense of the word, searching for possibilities for peace in the most unlikely place of an online war game. It’s a tribute to disobedience and desertion — in both digital and physical-real warfare. Shot in the picturesque war landscapes of «Battlefield V», the hyperreal graphics become the backdrop for an essay-like narrative. The film revolves around the history of deserters — a part of human history, which has hardly been illuminated. Performances and creative interventions explore the scopes and limits of the audiovisual entertainment machine.

"Red Gold" is a short animated documentary. It starts from the allegations of Moroccan women who pick strawberries in Huelva to build a polyphonic story that takes us to the focus of a larger conflict, making us reflect on its complexity and forms of representation: migration policies, struggles against extractivism from the North to the global South, racial capitalism, situated alliances.
A day at the zoo, the orangutan sits in his cage and dreams of his life in the jungle when a girl comes by and brightens his dull afternoon.

So important that the orangutan has to intervene, and a chain of event changes everything.
Alone in the center of a barren square, an old man collapses. Passers-by who gravitate around avoid it, ignore it or come to its aid. The sudden interest of journalists in this man will lead us into a grotesque and absurd media vortex questioning our relationship to society and the media. From benevolent help to TV shows, our winter hero becomes the number one subject of our society. It becomes an experience of the absence.
Immediately after liberation, an incident called 'Jeju Uprising' took place on Jeju Island, the Hawaii of Korea, under the control of the US military government.
