I left my silent house Art vidéo | dv | color and b&w | 8'51'' | Korea, South / USA | 2007 © Photo credit / Seoungho Cho Seoungho Cho`s latest work, I Left My Silent House, begins in a meditative mood with black and white images of people in the subway and then transforms itself into a colorful journey across dramatic open spaces, until it returns once again to the city. The video is an investigation of the tensions and pleasures of travel and, ultimately, metamorphosis. Seoungho Cho was born in 1959 in Pusan, South Korea and currently lives in New York.
