garak (string pieces),
under the images
I opened this webpage to share background research of the animation film, <garak(string pieces)>.
I have conducted artistic research based on interviews with grandparents, focusing on the big gap between me and the older generation, caused by the fast development of Korean society. The reason I am obsessed with the old stories is because I have lost these stories due to the demolision of the places.
<garak(string pieces)> is a film made from the perspective of a woman born in South Korea in the 1990s. As a person who has not experienced the Korean War(1950~1953), I have collected materials through the internet, books, movies, and interviews. You can find out what books, songs, films, and artists I referenced throughout this website. I hope you can make your connection through various links.

* Since the research was conducted in a highly subjective and interest-oriented way, I wrote in an essayistic manner.
* I marked books with 『 』, articles with ｢｣, and films & songs with <>.
* I tried to identify the source as much as possible, but missed a few things because I couldn't make a proper note while gathering the material. If you have found incorrect sources or want to give me your opinion, please contact me by email(kupaatembo@gmail.com).
