The liminal Identity (2025), 104’30“
“The Liminal Identity“ is a documentary capturing the experiences of millennials navigating between South Korea and Germany. Using hands as a metaphor, the film explores the emotional depths of personal stories, delicately illustrating how individual lives intertwine with social structures and how these personal connections, in turn, influence broader societal dynamics. Blending intimate narratives with social critique, the film invites audiences into emotional resonance and reflective contemplation.
One Hand seeks the other (2025), 31’00“
“One hand seeks the other” is a poetic-political film about the need for connection beyond normative images of community. Starting from the gestures of individual hands, it asks for resonance instead of binding, for closeness without constraint. Based on the stories of Korean millennials in Germany and supported by theories of precarity and recognition, the film searches for new forms of social security for fragile, independent subjects, without loss of self.
Der, dessen Name nicht genannt werden darf (2025)
“He who must not be named: ____ ?” Germany and France, due to the historical transgressions of the Holocaust and colonialism, avoid the use of the term “race.” In the name of republican universalism, France removed the word “race” from its constitution and all official documents in 2018. The collection of ethnic or racial statistics is also legally prohibited there. In Germany, debates continue over whether to delete or replace the word “race” from the Basic Law.
This development can, of course, be understood as a sign of the state’s will to no longer officially acknowledge racism. France even removed the word “race” from public discourse before Germany, but in line with this intention, has racism itself also been removed there?
Yellow (2023), 04’00“
Is empathy innate? Or does it have to be learned? Studies show that mirror neurons are cells that relay information from the visual or auditory senses to the premotor cortex, creating a sense of “empathy“ – we can put ourselves in another person’s emotional state. We all have mirror neurons, so we can feel empathy. However, they are activated more quickly by something we are familiar with.
In “yellow“ I explore these properties of mirror neurons by filming things that we have to get used to and that have to be visible in order to activate people’s mirror neurons more quickly.

This is not only my story, but also your story.
The lives of FLINTA* are still under threat worldwide. Examples include the ban on education and employment for women imposed by the Taliban, the “Jin, Jiyan, Azadi” protests against the Iranian government, sexual violence against FLINTA* in war, femicides around the globe, and the revival of anti-abortion laws in the USA and Poland. This project visualizes a utopia, based on the mythology of Jeju Island, of a matriarchal society for FLINTA*. Through the merging of different faces that symbolically represent diverse roles, deity, mediator, and FLINTA*, the project seeks to evoke a sense of solidarity and interconnectedness among FLINTA*. It asks how FLINTA* can connect with each other in affirming and empowering ways.
The project declares: it is okay if you are not okay, it is okay if you run away wherever you need to and that other FLINTA* will be there with you, if you want them to be.
