The work addresses problems with conservation of new media artworks. The collection of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul features Nam June Paik’s work The More, The Better. It is a gigantic tower built of 250 kinescope TV sets, which for some time has constantly required repairs. Given the lack of methods of solving such problems, the Museum convened a conference devoted to conservation of new media art, discussed on the example of The More, The Better. According to the post-conference publication, one of the considered solutions involved dismantling the sculpture and burying it deep in the museum storage. The Streetshows a fictitious situation of transporting a fragment of Nam June Paik’s piece out of the Museum. The protagonist of the photograph is a man drawing a cart full of broken TV sets. The scene brings to mind Korean streets, where similar carts are used for collecting waste paper. Other characters have been inspired by Korean works of art, such as Kim Hong-do’s Listening on Horseback to a Nightingale Singingand Kim Ku-Lim’s film The meaning of 1/24 seconds.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?
At the moment it’s regular boring life in a world of openness and acceptance.
What lies at the heart of your own desire to make films?
Being able to talk about what bothers me.
What are the first things you do in developing a film idea in response to a subject?
In most cases, having the general idea for a film, I start with finding right places and right faces for my story. Once they are found, I start writing.
What’s your favourite film and why?
It’s changing all the time. If I tell you what my favourite film is today, the answer may already be out of date once you have this questionnaire printed. Recently I’ve been compulsively watching Yasugirō Ozu’s films. Probably because I was planning my own work in Tokyo and I wanted to refresh the old city which doesn’t exist anymore.
