JaeKyung Jung, 1982
Jaekyung Jung explores ambivalence in urban life, capturing the blurred lines between ethical boundaries. Through moving images and archives, he uncovers disorder within the social order, where rationality emerges amidst chaos. Jung investigates the unstable zones where reason and madness coexist in a constant state of unrest.
