Expanded Celluloid, Extended Phonograph
2004년 이행준과 홍철기의 협업 프로젝트로 시작된 "확장된 셀룰로이드, 연장된 포노그래프"는 2008년에 두 사람이 발표한 DVD의 제목이기도 하다. 이 프로젝트의 출발점은 영상과 음향 기록/재생 매체의 물질성과 그로부터 촉발되는 확장성, 불확정성 그리고 즉흥성에 대한 공통된 관심에 있었다. 홍철기와 오랫동안 같이 작업을 해 온 최준용의 합류는 이 프로젝트를 영상과 음향의 더욱 불안정하고 위태로운 관계에 주목하도록 만들었다.
“Expanded Celluloid, Extended Phonograph(ECEP)” as a collaborative project between Lee Hangjun and Hong Chulki since 2004 is also the title of the DVD released by them in 2008. Its starting point was the common interest in the materiality, and its consequent expansiveness, indeterminacy, and the improvisational in the audio-visual recording-playback media. Hong’s longtime collaborator in noise, Choi Joonyong’s joining up to this collaboration has pushed it further towards the direction of building more unstable and precarious relation between sound and visual.
2011년에 예정된 전시, 상영, 퍼포먼스 등 다양한 플랫폼의 기획은 영상과 음향의 관계를 근본적인 층위에서 탐구하는데 초점을 맞추고 있다
The programs planned for the year 2011 including exhibition, screening and live performance is focused on our investigation on the fundamental layers of audio-visual relations.
퍼포먼스의 첫째 날 프로그램(8월 19일)은 이행준의
The first day (19 August) of the performance program starts by the screening of Lee Hangjun’s works, “Nebula Rising” and “The Cracked Share”, which reflects his interest in film not as an accepter of image but as a medium with materiality that emanates image from itself. Those works will be screened in unconventional format. After the screening, Lee’s “Film Walk”, the first part of the main performance program follows. This piece revitalizes 16mm film as optically recording/playing-back medium of sound by the body not of the projector but of the projectionist’s motion/movement. The “bounce.befall”, the second performance by Choi Joonyong, whose investigation in noise arrived at his interest in so-called ‘inferior sound’, reveals the contrasts between high and low, beauty and ugliness, and ultimately superiority and inferiority in sound through the audio-visual experience caused by the things’ motion of freefall. Finally, the first day’s program will be concluded in Hong Chulki’s “Levitation/Vibration” which tries to violate against the hierarchy between highness and lowness in sound by the vibration throughout the whole space.
둘째 날(8월20일)은 히치콕의 <싸이코>에서 여주인공이 살해당하는 샤워 장면을 프레임 단위로 해체하고 재구성하여 강박적으로 반복시키고 변주시키다가 결국에는 녹이고 태워버리는 필름 퍼포먼스
사운드트랙은 부지불식간에 스며들어 와서는 관객을 엄습하는 노이즈 음악이다. 역사적으로 노이즈 음악은 공포 영화와 매우 긴밀한 관계를 맺어왔다(혹은 공포영화 사운드트랙은 노이즈 음악의 전사였다고 말할 수 있다). 공포 영화는 언제나 극히 인공적이면서도 초자연적이기도 한 음향효과를 필요로 했고, 노이즈 음악은 '그 자체로 일어설 수 있기' 전까지는 자신의 생존을 위해 이 숙주의 필요를 충족시키면서 거기에 기생하지 않을 수 없었다. 그러나 이제 특수효과의 발달과 함께 공포영화는 더 이상 기괴하고 으스스한 청각적 자극을 필요로 하지 않게 되었으며, 마찬가지로 노이즈 음악도 전자음악의 보편화로 인해 스스로를 연주하기 위해 자신을 필요로 하는 이미지 운동과 서사구조에 기댈 필요가 없게 되었다.
The second day’s programs opens with 16mm multi-projection performance, “After Psycho Shower”, which deconstructs the famous shower-murder scene from Hitchcock’s “Psycho”, frame by frame, and concludes in melting and burning of film itself after the obsessive repetition of it, aiming at renewal of the cultural memory of this well-known images into audio-visual ‘experience’. The soundtrack of this expanded ‘horror’ cinema performance consists of noise music, which unconsciously ambushes the audience. Historically, noise music and horror film has retained the close mutual relationship. Or rather, it can be said that horror film soundtrack was the pre-history of noise music. Horror films had wanted simultaneously artificial and supernatural sound effects and noise music had to remain as a parasite to its host, horror films, until it enabled itself to stand alone. However, due to the development of visual special effects, horror films doesn’t need uncanny sound effects any longer and at the same time, due to the dissemination of electronic music technology, noise music doesn’t need moving images and narratives any longer to present itself to the audience. “After Psycho Shower” is the piece that (dis)unites the relation between sound and image in horror cinema, previously severed by digitalization of the both, in an indeterminate and contingent way of improvised audio-visual performance. It will be performed in various formats, at London’s Vision Sound Music Festival in September, Brussel’s Bozar Electronic Music Festival in October and at the other venues in Rome and Venice in November as well.
8월11일 시작하는 코너 갤러리에서의 동명의 전시에서는 영상/음향 매체의 물질성에 대한 이행준과 최준용, 홍철기의 공통의 관심사가 설치작품으로 투영된다.
The exhibition in the same title at The Corner Gallery in Seoul, which opens on 11 August, also reflects these three artists’ common interest in audio-visual medium’s materiality into the form of installation work.
