Synopsis
Magpie Eye is an analog film work that explores the immaterial realities of our world through the lens of Korean dream journey traditions (monguyrok). Using a 16mm handmade pinhole camera, the work captures ritual sites, sacred trees, and activist sites in Jeju Island. Like the magpie's iridescent blue that appears beneath its seemingly black and white feathers, this work reveals what is invisible or dismissed as unreal, offering an alternative way of seeing and understanding the spirit world around us.
