June Bum Park
In viewing Junebum Park 's works as texts, it is apparent that his approach to arranging and treating the formalistic elements in the text is a way of externalizing his view of reality. If his previous works display a subversive view using the extreme use of distancing spatial depth through the witty hand miming performance, his recent works treat sound, texture, relations of objects with more attention and therefore induce the imbalance and abrasion in the system. But this is neither caused by exaggerations nor unnatural force. He employs steady frames and general camera angles yet in this modest way he allows us to experience the strangeness. Through the camera eye, after observing an image at a wide angle in a long take, he questions those very sensible compositions and the situations. By manipulating the time he relativizes it while revealing the hidden sounds, new or undiscovered conflicts and visualizing the invisible.
Eventually, Junebum Park 's work will lead us to discover the formal elements of moving images?the use of the camera frame, real-time wide angle shooting, the probability of distorting reality by accelerating speed and time, and the ironic re-discovery of the relative elements of reality, etc. As this writing has already been predicting, we will have to continue watching the artist's attempts through which his extraordinary potentials will show.
