“A Prophet’s Words” is a video work composed of narration across five chapters, conceived as “words of wisdom delivered by the dead to the living.” The work originates from two sources: an interview with a displaced Korean who, following Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule in 1945, was forcibly separated from their family due to over seventy years of division between North and South Korea; and a news article about a refugee child found drowned on the southern coast of Turkey in the fall of 2015. These two events reflect the complex psychological conditions of individuals confronting tragic realities shaped by unavoidable socio-political forces. “A Prophet’s Words” unfolds through a poetic narration that overlays such inescapable realities with the intricate psychological state of Orpheus, emerging from the subterranean underworld of a pitch-dark cave toward the surface.
< 예언가의 말 >은 '죽은 자가 살아있는 이들에게 전하는 지혜의 말'로서, 5개 챕터의 나레이션으로 구성된 영상작업이다. 이 작업의 단초는 한국의 일본식민지 해방(1945)이후 70여년의 남북 분단으로 가족과 생 이별을 하게 된 어느 실향민의 인터뷰 영상과 2015년 가을, 터키 남부 해변가에 익사채로 발견된 난민아이의 인터넷 기사로 부터 시작되었다. 이 두 사건은 정치사회학적인 불가항력으로 인하여 현실적 비극을 맞이하고 있는 이들의 복잡한 심리 상황을 반영하고 있다. < 예언가의 말 >은 불가항력적 현실적 상황에서 칠흙같은 동굴 속 지하세계에서 지상으로 빠져나오는 오르페우스의 복잡한 심리 상태을 중첩시켜, 시적 나레이션으로 진행하였다.
