Kim Woong Yong explores how memory and technology mediate the relationship between bodily discipline and resistance within historico-cultural contexts. Through this approach, he focuses on organic stories that reveal once deemed immense forces and insignificant moments embedded in ruins and decay, generating new relations between them. These associative stories may come into being suddenly or eventually. To achieve this idea, he inquires into the potential of memory rooted in the present, weaving together the remnants of records—voices, masks, gestures, scripts—and reviving them through various mediums such as performance, film, and soundtracks.

We live our lives made up of a great quantity of isolated instants. So as to be lost at the heart of a multitude of things. (From the Double Dream of Spring, 1970.)
