Seung-eon Yi is a film maker working with animation collaged media, based in Seoul and Chicago. She mainly describes in poetic form, the emotions and memories that she is deeply involved in, from the personal to the observational.
Her artistic language explores diverse methodologies, especially analog materials, and fragmented imagery. She believes in the power of the poetic effect of the material as a gesture of healing and understanding, and in challenging narrative conventions.
My films are usually inspired while I am observing a minute moment of daily life. I like to express in works the emotions I earned thru that observation. And I hope that people empathize with the stories of my works and can be consoled by them.
I am not that much interested in creating novel, unusual stories. Rather, I am interested in creating small ordinary stories of our daily moments, discovering tiny hidden values that might be overlooked, and delivering those values thru my animations in diverse methodologies. I want to share there is a great deal more that is meaningful in our daily moments than we expect.
By vividly visualizing tiny yet precious values I spot in our daily moments, I hope my animations will be lyrics unveiling emotional charms of daily moments, so that the viewers would feel placid whirlpool tranquilly spinning in their heart and be soothed.
