Head and Foot / 머리와 발
Undated
Single-channel Video
"Head and Foot" repeats the same footage of Paik rubbing on, rubbing together, and tapping on his face, head, and feet for about seven minutes by speeding up the replay, rewinding the video, changing the colors, or distorting the screen. This piece shows how a human being's facial expressions, feet movement, and voice in daily conversation could be transformed and de-familiarized. The video editing effects allow Paik to travel freely between the past and the present on the screen, and his body is transformed into illusionary images at a certain moment.
