DIRECTING INTENTION
This work is about a Korean female pilot, Kyungwon Park, who was born in Korea and moved to Japan alone to become a pilot. In 1933, she attempted a return flight from Japan to Korea but her flight was crashed in the mountain of Atami, only 50 minutes after from the departure in Haneda, and lost her life. The "home country" that she aimed to return, was in fact not existed as a country since Korea was under Japanese colonization in 1930s. So to speak, she flew to an imagery of "once home country", which was a failure. This "unfinished voyage" to a lost country was the main inspiration. The imagery of her voyage is approached and accessed by the imagery of scenes that actors create through acting, along with the documentary of actors and crews in reality, in an attempt to connect past and present in their migrations
