<OUR YOUTH IN A MATCHBOX>

I like to record all my passing ideas and worries in written form, memo. But the problem is that I don't really like to read what i wrote, since reading my own memo is embarrassing. I feel sort of uncomfortable every time i tried to read it.

So I'm changing my memos into videos with different actors so the contents of my memos can be conveyed with narration by different people. I also asked them to edit my memos into their own way of speaking. Now I feel little comfortable to face my memos.

My memo #1

: 나는 우리가 잠을 자는 동안에 우리 자신이 누구인지 잊는다는 이야기를 들은 적이 있다. 그런데 아침에 일어나서 방천장을 쳐다보면서, 어제 입고 잔 옷을 보면서, 어제 했던 일을 떠올리고 오늘 해야 할 일을 생각하면서 다시 우리가 누구인지 기억해낸다는 것이다. 바로 그것들이 우리가 누구인지를 깨닫게 한다. 그래서 만일 우리가 어떤 사람이었는지 기억하지 못하는 날이면 그땐, 우리가 되고싶은 그 어떤 것이든 될 수 있다고 했다.

Ich hab gehört, dass man vergisst wer man ist, während man träumt, aber dass man sich morgens, wenn man aufwacht wieder erinnert. Während man die Decke anstarrt und die Klamotten sieht, die man gestern noch getragen hat, und darüber nachdenkt was man gestern gemacht hat und was man heute machen muss. das sind Sachen die mich jeden morgen dran erinnern wer ich bin. Aber was würde passieren, wenn ich eines morgens aufwachen würde, und ich nicht mehr weiß, was ich gestern getan habe, was ich heute tun muss oder wer ich bin, kann ich dann sein wer ich will?

(I’ve heard that you forget who you are, while you're dreaming. But you remember again in the morning, when you wake up. While you are staring at the blanket and looking at the clothes that you worn yesterday. And thinking about what you did yesterday and what you have to do today. These are the things that remind me of who I am every morning. But what would happen if I woke up one morning and I no longer know what I did yesterday, what I have to do today or who I am. Can I be anything what i want to be?)
