Where the Silver Fades

About

The sands of Haeundae Beach seem like a landscape that has always been there. Yet the elders who grew up here remember a different sand, silver in color. That sand was replaced, and even the fact of its replacement was erased. Following British naval charts, colonial-era promotional leaflets, military aerial photographs, and contemporary tourist postcards, the film reveals that the place we now call Haeundae is a sediment of images selected by outside gazes.
