Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow

Concept: The Architecture of Time - A 5-Dimensional Exploration

In Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow, my core pursuit is the deconstruction of linear cinematic narrative to elevate the medium into a pure "Time Art." Moving image is conventionally bound by the chronology of a story; I seek to liberate it, treating time not as a sequence, but as a deep, superimposed spatial architecture.

This work intertwines three parallel 10-minute temporal strands, each possessing its own visual texture and emotional frequency: the stop-motion, visceral violence of "Yesterday," the candid, colorless void of "Today," and the pale, lingering anticipation of "Tomorrow." By presenting these timelines not consecutively but simultaneously, the work visually reconstructs the volatile, multi-layered reality of human memory. We do not experience time in a straight line; our present is constantly haunted by the past and anxious for the future.

The process of execution is inseparable from the concept. I reject the automated, mathematically precise algorithms of modern digital editing. Instead, I approach the non-linear editing system as an organic, active brush. I live-mixed the opacity of these three video layers in real-time, allowing raw intuition to dictate the superimposition.

Furthermore, I physically disrupt these digital layers with handwritten text. This analog, chaotic intervention—what I define as the "5th dimension"—shatters the polished digital surface, blurring the boundary between the frame, the creator, and the viewer. Today, Yesterday, Tomorrow is not a mere video to be watched; it is an environment to be inhabited. It invites the audience to immerse themselves in the fragile superimposition of existence, experiencing the depth of time as a physical and sculptural sensation.
