Berlin, 1930, during the rise of Nazism. Hermann Hermann, a Russian emigrant and chocolate manufacturer, married to the capricious Lydia, loses his temper more and more every day when dealing with his workers and other businessmen; until he meets Felix, a vagrant, who seems to be physically identical to him; a disconcerting fact that leads Hermann Hermann to plot a particular way out of a fake world he actually hates.

This Is Not Me is an intimate, haunting exploration of identity, longing, and the truths we try to hide. A raw, dreamlike film built from five striking monologues. Each character reveals the parts of themselves they’d rather keep hidden, blurring the line between confession and performance.

In the present work, the artists appears lying on his back, his eyes mostly closed, dreamingly listening to a walkman that plays, a recording of 'The Best of Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground'. The artist can hear the music through his earphones, but as viewers we are only privy to the sound of his voice that whispers the melody. As we listen to the hypnotic interpretion of the familiar songs - as emblematic for pop music history as 'Psycho' is for film - we are forced to mentally 'reconstruct' the remaining orchestration, instrumentation and vocals.

withal our bodies we are is a work combining text and the moving image of body movements. In the text, the speaker feels awkward and nervous at a club and meets ’Jiwon‘, visiting different places and sharing communal movements and affect. Based on the senses emerging from the text - nervousness, self-consciousness, relaxedness, awkwardness, and etc. - Sunghyun who performed for this piece choreographed movements with me. In this work, Sunghyun presents texts that are printed in reverse on the mirror and performs movements that are sometimes related, not related, or maybe extended from the text. By putting text and movements together, we think about how our bodies move and what it is about to move together with others.
