That Anxiety Has a Mise-en-Scène

DirectorCho Hee-soo

2025
22 min

"Young contemporary history and young tumors resemble each other — both parasitize my prime years." The malfunction of both state and body passes endlessly through the MRI scanner under the diagnosis of a prologue without a main plot. A single film never begins; instead, opening scenes pretending to be from different films repeat schizophrenically. This anxiety, named the invasion sense, constructs a complete reality through unexecuted directives — unrealized wars, uncured illnesses. The film paradoxically addresses a present in which, even without a main plot, anxiety itself constitutes a world, suspended between fiction and reality.
