This series of short videos explores the aesthetic possibilities of digital video by incorporating elements of the scratch film into his practice. Starting from the techniques and aesthetics that experimental filmmakers such as Stan Brakhage and Carolee Schneemann applied to 16mm film, these works invitee us to think about video making in a similar frame-by-frame manner in which the lines between reality and reproduction are blurred. In this series, Yun begins his pursuit of perfecting digital “scratching" techniques by manipulating original and found video in software such as Photoshop and Final Cut Pro to produce works that aim to both visually stimulate and recall memory, emotion and sensation.
