Email to Hae Yuen and Marcel in Seoul, 14th May 2020:
I see a Korean woman dressed in white, standing in a variety of locations, and often viewed from above and both close up and in the distance.
She stares out, as if seeing/watching something from afar. She sometimes raises her hand. Sometimes this gesture becomes a wave. She walks slowly from location to location.
The camera cuts to the action taking place around her in all the places she visits. There are abstract details formed from extreme close up - surfaces, textures, lettering.
The colour palette is consistent in each location.
I see all of the above, but a western man in black.
Waving could be replaced with abstract hand signals. Maybe deaf-signing the title (As:Yet) to each other.
Send me your phone models and I can decide what settings to use. Takes should be about 15 seconds. Use surrounding surfaces to lean on for stability.
The dialogue can be semi-improvised and recorded over Zoom/teams, using my prompts/interview.
The footage will be edited together to create a fractured, illogical narrative, and repetition/slow motion might be added. The soundtrack will be taken from the phone footage, but will not match the visuals. Some additional audio will provide continuity.
I anticipate a 3 to 5 minute piece will surface, but if you have good phone batteries and lots of storage space, and really get into it, a longer film might work. If you do want to produce a longer film I might have to get you to film the two of you together in some way, which could involve you getting hold of a tripod for your phone.
