In Korea, even in modern civilization, there are many rituals that can be said to be the prototype of ancient human culture.
What are humans? It's a question
I've had for a long time. Everyday life is almost the same
for people all over the world. It is religion, festivals,
and rituals that make human beings human. Throughout my life,
I have filmed the rituals that are actually performed
in that space at that time without any intentional directing
on the subject of humans and rituals.
In Korea, even in modern civilization,
there are many rituals that can be said to be the prototype
of ancient human culture. Among them, there is Shamanism
(called Kut in Korea). This photographic record is a very rare rite, and it is a rite to do good deeds in this life while alive and go to a better world after death.
Through this photographic record, you can get a glimpse
of the life and death views of the primitive humans.
