His works center around ordinary people’s dreams, memories, and experiences, often restaged in ways that reveal broader social contexts. http://www.victorian-cinema.net/devant.htm

 

[13] The great thing about Jung's fabricated 'heavens' is that he anticipates that if it was reality you just wouldn't get what you wished for.

아주 특별한 DMZ… 안쓰럽지만 빛나는 서울신문
[박진희의 사진으로 보는 문화] 전시?

In Documentary Nostalgia the lack of sound both operates as a tribute Jung's cinematic lineage and a clever strategy to mask the audio commotion of the behind the scenes direction. All were immediately imprisoned on their arrival. This was often accompanied by the distracting melodies of a live trombonist. This work was later acquired by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York in 2008, significantly elevating his international profile.

Fun fact: Documentary Nostalgia involves 90 component pieces and props.

 

[21] Like Rory Wainwright's 22 year voyage, Jung's shifting landscapes evolve as a perpetually expanding terrain; a kind of virgin wilderness in which one can loose a life time, but gain so much more. A history yet to be realised.

For, as every good impostor knows, to be truly great has nothing to do with success.

Many of the films Devant (and others) popularized featured actors performing various tricks; often edited to enhance the audiences' astonishment. http://www.usask.ca/education/ideas/tplan/sslp/yukon/henry_h.htm

    yeondoo jung biography of rory

    A car drives past; the street lamp is converted into a tree, while busy workmen in the distance pack up solid polyurethane 'puddles', bustle away the sidewalk. This vast urban jungle, world weary metropolis, Jung's NYC is collapsed into one familiar local neighbourhood.

    Jung's American excursion is a monumental quest not yet complete. In 2007, he won the “Artist of the Year” award from the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, a milestone in his domestic career.

    More often than not it works out right; but it's the best-attempt frailty of human endeavour which makes his hocus-pocus so endearing.

    Birthday party clown tricks, slapstick humour, cartoon exaggeration, and the clumsy 'special effects' of silent movie cliche[19]: Jung draws from all the low-fi mysteries of childhood delight to reconstruct his own reality.

    In some parts of the world he is known as Mr. Wonderful.[4] Most people encounter him as a travelling stranger; a sort of miracle worker from a far off land. These recollections, diligently recorded, became his own; these solitary hopes and aspirations, like tiny beacons of light, helped him navigate this strange new land.
