Before a Sepulcher Laughs

Directed by Paik Jong-kwan

Film has covertly been calling out to the blind crowd. The audience–crowd that had been pulled in and bound by the illusionary vanishing point of the theater's giant screen, seem to have been freed at last. They themselves have come to perform the functions of production, reproduction and propagation as the carriers of image such as film/pixel, and with the ubiquity of small luminous screens, the darkness of the 'old' theater is gradually fading.
