Greening Korea


#Korea #RuralAsia


Synopsis: A personal documentary about the agricultural life in Hadong-gun, the region of South Korea where my wife grew up. Filming was on the farm belonging to her family, and in the marketplace of the nearby town.


Green tea production is particularly prevalent in Hadong. But its farmers are under extreme economic pressure. More than this, Koreans’ habits in terms of favored beverages are changing, and the popularity of coffee is having a severely detrimental effect on green tea sales.


Kimchi, on the other hand, remains a staple of the Korean diet. And kimchi-making (kimchang) remains a traditional activity in most Korean households. Usually a group activity, after my wife’s mother’s death, my wife took this over duty solely.

World Bardo/ Bardo du monde

 World Bardo 

*

“Your mother often talks about your brother,” the doctor said during the teleconference last night. “How is he?”

“Votre mère parle souvent de votre frère….” a dit le médecin hier soir pendant un conference de téléphone. “Comment ça va, lui?”

Le bardo du monde/ The World Bardo


 #streetphoto #sony #Photos #Nightphoto. ヨンイン、韓国 . Yongin, South Korea. 용인에서. From the World Bardo series. This is a project I started several years ago and then shelved. But it seems worth restarting. Another title for it is The Underseen; what we dimly sense is happening in life when we experience a stopped moment … when experience alters, and dimensions of time seem to temporarily alter.

Sabotage de pont Kerch en Crimée

 


Tolstoy’s War and War

Pyotr Tolstoy, great great grandson of renowned novelist and humanitarian Leo Tolstoy, is a rabid warmonger. He’s also a member of the Russian parliament, the Duma. His violent rhetoric in turn raises questions about the psychological wellness of major power leaders generally.
