HOW TO FALL BETTER

2024

Video installation, two-channel video, 26’26’’, text
In collaboration with Min Yoon

How To Fall Better explores the physical and emotional dimensions of labor and endurance through choreographed, repetitive movements. Created in collaboration with Butoh dancer and performer Min Yoon, the piece centers on a cyclical choreography of falling and recovery, stretched over time to interrogate collapse both as an intimate bodily experience and a broader social metaphor.

The work examines the tension between endurance and depletion, asking: At what point does endurance become unsustainable? What new possibilities emerge when exhaustion is made visible rather than concealed?

The process involved two intensive sessions, during which Min Yoon repeatedly fell and rose. These sessions were filmed up close, capturing the vulnerability of the body in this state. The installation is accompanied by a printed text – part poem, part invocation – that extends the physical language of the work into words.
