Busan Biennale
The Busan Biennale is a biannual international contemporary art show that integrated three different art events held in the city in 1998: the Busan Youth Biennale, the first biennale of Korea that was voluntarily organized by local artists in 1981; the Sea Art Festival, an environmental art festival launched in 1987 with the sea serving as a backdrop; and the Busan International Outdoor Sculpture Symposium that was first held in 1991. The biennale was previously called the Pusan International Contemporary Art Festival (PICAF) before it launched.
The biennale has its own unique attribute in that it was formed not out of any political logic or need but rather the pure force of local Busan artists’ will and their voluntary participation. Even to this day their interest in Busan's culture and its experimental nature has been the key foundation for shaping the biennale’s identity.
This biennale is the only one like it in the world that was established through an integration of three types of art events such as a Contemporary Art Exhibition, Sculpture Symposium, and Sea Art Festival. The Sculpture Symposium in particular was deemed to be a successful public art event, the results of which were installed throughout the city and dedicated to revitalizing cultural communication with citizens. The networks formed through the event have assumed a crucial role in introducing and expanding domestic art overseas and leading the development of local culture for globalized cultural communication. Founded 38 years ago, the biennale aims to popularize contemporary art and achieve art in everyday life by providing a platform for interchanging experimental contemporary art.

Continuous adolescence
I made film about 30s Bucket List . I decided because 30s makes me feel close and far from my generation (20s). It seems interesting to listen to their private dream from the ironical generation around 100 people. Also, I did interview treating them as normal people whose age are 30s rather than defining 30s as a certain group. The interviews were processed question-answer style or explaining their own Bucket List way. I Interviewed acquaintance 30s, introduced 30s or 30s citizens on the street. Most of citizen get angry when just asked their age first, therefore, I approached people looking like 30s in order to request for interview first. Then I asked their age last time to look for 30s. Among them, there were late twenty, early forty and around 30s people, but I recorded and thought as extension of the 30s.
