SYNOPSIS

During 1960-90s, several theaters and public spaces in Seoul and other cities, such as Pagoda theater, Keukdong theater, and Seongdong theater, had been appropriated as the crucial ‘cruising spot’ by male sexual minorities. Now the main stage of cruising has moved from the physical spaces to the virtual fields. It seems there is no spatial validity as the Cruising Spot any longer.

DIRECTING INTENTION

Glow Job is a multi-scaled project woven with bodies, movies, and cruising spaces focused on several theaters are vanishing or had already vanished in Seoul. This film attempts to find out how we can face left debris of history through movie, revealing the condensed and vanished past-space and simultaneously reconnecting it to the present. Glow Job is also a part of a ritualistic project performed inside and out of the screen.
