죽은 민영이의 장례식The funeral of the deceased

DIRECTING INTENTION

At the exhibition of Seo Do-yi, “The funeral of the deceased”, the exhibits enable us to confront directly, the feelings of sexual violence survivors. She surfaces the victims, likely to have been taking shelter in another world, in the form of "another human life.” Lawyers, detectives and professors give their opinions in turn, on the notion of "victim-likeness", which obliges victims to live in depression. In between the four women’s "conversation”, visitors at the exhibition appear on image. By means of such image, the work questions whether we are confined or not to look at the survivors merely as distant "spectators". Consequently, the interviewees and the visitors come to create another video exhibition or documentary. At the end, with the phrase, "To all, from dead Min-young”, the film sends out a message to the audience of the documentary, to join the video exhibition.
