Yeondoo Jung
I first became aware of Yeondoo Jung’s photographs when someone showed me his Wonderland collection, photographs taken based on children’s drawings. For this series he collected over 1200 drawings and then chose only 17. To recreate the images he enlisted the help of costume designers and set designers to sew and build clothing and objects the way children draw them, such as shirts with uneven sleeves and 2 dimensional tables.
Yeondoo Jung’s most recent work still plays with the ideas of skewed reality and imagination. Nostalgia Documentary is an 84 minute HD video shot in one take where workers in orange jumpsuits walk in and out of the scene to change it completely. They place bird’s nests in trees, remove roads that are really carpets and change backdrops to countrysides. To get a better idea visit his website where some selected clips are available. Below of some screen shots from the film.
