Masterclass Dahee Jeong
”A Dreamer, Being Dreamed”

JEONG Dahee’s animations are studies about time and space in film. Starting out Dahee was interested in the relationship between the cinematic theater, images on the screen and the audience facing images.

She directed three animations inspired by the concept of ‘room’: <The Black Room>, <Man on the Chair> and <The Empty>. Dahee also directed <The Hours of Tree>, which deals with immobile trees and floating humans, and <Movements>, featuring characters of various speeds between immobile and mobile.

Dahee talks about her process from idea, through development and final production.
