Program Note

Se-eung, who works at a deer farm, carves the deer that he will kill. His colleague cannot understand such behavior. To him, Se-eung’s act of carving is nothing more than another tool that pierces the throats of animals. In this place, which represents human selfishness and desire, sacrificing animals for divination, and the act of replicating the appearance of dead lives through sculpture, what was it that Se-eung finally sees in the ironic contrast that dawn? (MO Eun-young)
