fotofiction is a film that adds time to the photos by printing them on 16mm using photos taken on 35mm black and white film around the hometown since 2011. It is about novel-like stories that occurred on this island, listing scenes left behind by people and nature as time passes.

This omnibus film was created for a workshop commemorating the 30th anniversary of Korea National University of Arts School of Film. Students, alumni, and faculty present eleven shorts exploring everyday images across film, photography, painting, games, animation, and advertising through contemplative, critical, and satirical approaches. From supercut aesthetics to structural compositions and essayistic narration, each work examines how images generate meaning. While functioning independently, these shorts intersect within a shared framework, offering new perspectives on viewing moving images.

fotoficion is built from photographs of the director's hometown taken since 2011. Some images were created using materials from the land—cuttlefish bones, bird feathers, and organic matter from her family's tangerine farm—imprinted onto analog film. The work unfolds as an ongoing narrative of memory where home, land, and generational time overlap.
