Space Cell, founded by Jangwook Lee, opened in Seoul in July 2004. It began as a cultural hub for exhibitions, screenings, and education, hosting workshops in the summer and fall, as well as special exhibitions in the spring and fall. It also served as a screening venue for the Seoul International Experimental Film Festival. In September 2006, Space Cell transitioned into a handmade film lab. Currently, Space Cell focuses on expanding its activities through experimental film workshops, screenings, lab-based film production, collaboration projects, and distribution.

This film is inspired by the moment of one autumn day from my childhood. The moment I experienced was impossible to be measured or represented. I became curious this ‘Image of Time’. This film is a first step for the journey.

bezejmenný(nameless) - HWIHWI
South Korea | 2024 | BW, Color | Stereo | 8min 33sec | 16mm
Made with film I shot in 2019 while living in the Czech Republic. Back then, I practiced photography as a way to encourage myself—a nameless photographer capturing nameless images. Photos accumulated, yet none seemed to deserve a title. I stored this growing collection of untitled photographs in a folder labeled simply “bezejmenný(eng. untitled).” Time has since passed, many things have happened, and these photos now exist as images that cannot take on any particular form or project. The streets in the photos may still look the same, but some buildings have disappeared, some have been reconstructed, some people are no longer with us, some friends I’ll never see again, and there are faces I can no longer reach even if I try. There is even a version of myself from only a few years ago, looking younger, different. So much has changed, time has moved on. And when I look at these moments frozen in photos, it reminds me of how fleeting time really is. These photos, too, seem utterly fleeting. Like the passing of time, scenes cropped within each frame vanish from my memory even faster than their 1/24-second exposure. The colors might
look faded, yet some scenes remain vivid in my mind.

“I saw you from the end of the platform, standing in trousers. In the late afternoon light of a valley region, under a broad, soft glow of fractured white light, by a stopped train, you appeared so small on the platform. But your smallness changed everything—from the setting sun passing under the tracks to the Arabic numerals on the train schedule, from the seagull perched on the roof to the unseen stars, to the taste of coffee in my mouth—everything had changed. Long ago, I had come to touch a world of coincidences; now, it had formed into a room. I was home.”
John Berger, from And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos
