Delines' artistic exploration unfolds in specific “places”. They listen closely to the unique stories each place whispers, questioning how art can awaken spirituality and expand sensory perception. In the summer of 2024, Delines took their first step in Jeungdo, Sinan, South Jeolla Province. There, they encountered abandoned wooden salt transport ships and tidal paths that revealed themselves with the rhythm of the tides. These paths carried not only landscapes but also traces of countless minds and spirits etched on them.

Lost in Translation is a screening exploring fragmented narratives as a tool for addressing displacement and the embodiment of the body within various contexts such as location, landscape, environment, and systemic categorization. This experience delves into the estranged sensation of existing in a place yet feeling disconnected, prompting questions about who is present, what aspects of the self are represented, and the nature of one's engagement in that space. This exploration parallels the fluid interpretation seen in the relationship between: scores and movement or objects and actions, highlighting connections that can be overlooked between a place and its surrounding environment. In this context, the concept of being does not necessarily equate to inhabiting.

Through performance, stop-motion animation, historical archives, storytelling, or scientific research, Screeing uses video mediums to flow into the landscape and challenge human-centered ideology. The 7 films by Akira Ikezoe, Maya Jeffereis, Ayesha Kamal Kahn, Kevin Kelly, Asami Shoji, Yi Yunyi, and Brian Zegeer, show reconciliation and unification with the natural world, distancing themselves from the human desire to categorize and quantify it.

Going back and forth between micro and macro, past and present, places, the subjects are thrown around by uncontrollable forces that are outside of human intention as if to remind us that we are only a part of a larger universe and aware of the interconnectedness of all things, of conjunctions, of coincidences.

This screening features the video works of Akira Ikezoe, Maya Jeffereis, Ayesha Kamal Kahn, Kevin Kelly, Asami Shoji, Yi Yunyi, and Brian Zegeer and was selected by Monira resident Nobutaka Aozaki.
