The Onion Film was inspired by my work with found materials and organic surfaces. I am interested in the multiple ways in which film exists as a self-referencing medium. I worked with filmic surfaces directly, creating varied shapes and rhythms, within the constraints of the filmic frame. Much of my creative inspiration comes from various conceptual artists, both historical and contemporary.

In December 1927, a funeral car arrived in Leningrad, at the Moscow railway station. It brought an urn with the ashes of academician Vladimir Bekhterev and a glass jar with the brain of a scientist hidden from the public eye. Just a few days before, he had gone to Moscow for a congress of psychiatrists. However, according to a telegram recently found in the archives of the Leningrad Institute of the Brain, Professor Bekhterev was urgently summoned to Moscow by the Council of People's Commissars. The last time he was summoned to the Kremlin was three years earlier to see the seriously ill Lenin. To whom was this urgent call? What happened on that mysterious night before Christmas? And are there any documents about the illness and death of Academician Bekhterev?

The documentary examines the construction of the I.G. Farben factory in Monowitz, also known as I.G. Auschwitz, during World War II. The film follows various leads, including the memories of Dr. Hans Deichmann, the former representative for Italian workers. Interviews with survivors of the Buna/Monowitz concentration camp, a former Italian foreign worker, and Polish villagers offer a variety of perspectives. Despite its title, the film focuses not only on the 'crime scene Monowitz', but also on the masterminds and those responsible at the I.G. Farben corporation.
A city’s urban architecture and spatial design often dictate the primary mode of getting from A to B. In LA the done thing is driving, whilst in Amsterdam you get on your bike and in Tokyo the main means of transport is rail. In these two video works, Junebum Park hones in on two distinct forms of getting oneself to a new location: on foot or arriving by car. Filmed from above, both works show the graphic patterns of urban planning in the form of the white lines of zebra crossings and parking lots, being used by city dwellers. Seen from this birds-eye view the humans become like bugs and Park plays with this scale further with the introduction of his hand, about ten times larger than the ant-like people, directing the action. As the viewer we see the scene from Park’s viewpoint, as the omni-present, all-seeing entity in charge.
