PROP SUSEOK from “PARASITE” (2019)
Suseok, which is usually seen as a symbol of fortunately, was one of the unforgettable (paradoxical) images in “Parasite”. Like the Park family turns from hope and upward movement to their final fall and violence.

During registration at Yonsii University, Bong Caricature was published in the school newspaper, indicating his unique visual style from an early age.

In his speech in Oscar, Bong showed a sanctification of film makers such as Martin Scorsese who formed his work, so it is appropriate for the exhibition to celebrate the largest counselor in Pong. When Puetz visited for the first time Pong in his office, he was “beaten” by souvenirs he kept from his favorite films. I collaborated with Pong on the wall of stickers and asked him to choose 20 more influential films in his work, including “Silence of Lamps”, “Barton Fink”, “Zodiac” and “Psycho”. “Psycho” sticker comes from the Bong collection.
