Section4_Artist Perspectives on the FAR Game

Yeondoo JUNG’s BuildingRecollectiondocumentsfragments of streetscapes in an aging urban neighborhood. Images of buildings composed of a series of photographs seem frozen at first, but upon closer observation the images crawl slowly across the screen, as if to emphasize the plodding persistence of an impoverished identity. Monologues from residents reinforce the way residents identify with their homes, and in that way are also caught maintaining a stagnant sense of self. Here the FAR game is a context for the accumulated memories of their lives, which follow in lock-step the notion that desires for space and freedom will never fully be realized.
