ANIMA SGN | Kodac Ko

What does it mean to be foreign? What does it mean to feel foreign? The significance of migration and immigration lies in language and memory that encompasses the loss of one's native tongue, feelings of alienation and displacement, and a broad spectrum of cultural references and languages. In these two hours, ANIMA SGN #1 presents three artists whose lives and work are shaped by these experiences and form their reflections on the role of the artist.

This episode features Kodak Ko (@KodacKo), whose latest film “파도, 어디에나 있는 Waves, Everywhere” (2023), co-directed with Johannes Malfatti, explores the duality of migration. This film captures the new environments migrants find and the void they leave behind, using the metaphor of waves to portray migration as a universal human experience. This set includes a variety of soundtracks from Kodac’s œuvre, featuring field recordings, text, voices, and more.
