Rev

1997, 11:30 min, b&w and color, sound

In Rev, Cho continues his examination of identity within an urban environment, envisioning the frenetic dissonance of an urban landscape that is at once alienating and poetic. Cho's aggressive observation of pedestrian traffic is portrayed with a blurred and highly saturated aesthetic. A candle's flame methodically waves back and forth, suggesting the private time within the accelerated urban experience.
