A Better World

A Better World (2017) follows the process of the ballot counting for the 19th Presidential Election in South Korea. The election took place in 2017 subsequent to a series of Candlelight protests leading to the impeachment of the predecessor. The highly charged atmosphere and restless energy amongst volunteers are palpable in the attentive documentation of the arrival and opening of ballot boxes in the public eye. As the counting begins the footage is coupled with another frame, shot with a thermal imaging camera, unveiling the unseen layer of an already transparent process.
