Dear Chaemin

17
min 
Content warning:
Dear Chaemin is a series of three video letters sent by Cyan Bae from The Hague to her sister in Seoul in the midst of social isolation. The autofictional film juxtaposes the Korean and Dutch contexts of contact tracing, biopolitics and crowd control practices, each of which intensifies the stigmatization and violence against queer communities and people of Asian descent. While yearning for the Post-Corona in the New Normal, should we wish the normal back? Directed by Cyan Bae, 2020, 17 min, Korea, Korean with English subtitles, Q __Content Warning: Viewer discretion advised.__
