Mowing 

Dir. Yool Park

MOWING begins with the simple act of mowing the lawn. On the surface, it seems like an ordinary scene, yet along the way, various sounds and objects are struck and destroyed.

It metaphorically reflects the indifference and ignorance of the privileged toward the vulnerable, relying on sound and imagery rather than direct explanation.
