DESCRIPTION:
Gang Gang - a cycle of four sound poems. Video animation for an audiovisual performance by Ge-Suk Yeo.

Gang Gang' is a cycle of four sound poems combined with electro-acoustic sounds and an animation based on sound calligraphies.

Gang Gang derives its mood and rhythm from a Korean traditional circle dance, where people gather and go around in circles chanting "Gang-Gang-sul-le".

The dance's large spectrum from very slow motions to very fast, altogether create a very playful, amusing and cheerful ambiance, adopted and transformed into an abstract perspective by the video. - New actors like birds, the ocean and their relation towards the moon play an additional role.

Gang Gang can be considered as a minimalistic and surrealistic opera. The slowly moving visuals drawing simple white light on black background are based on sound calligraphies, which use very simple lines, points and focuses on the empty space in between.

2007 Gang Gang got screened at FILE|Hipersônica in São Paulo. In 2008 it got part of the FILE Retrospective in Porto Alegre.
In 2008 Gang Gang was part of the exhibition of the 13. Marler Video-Kunst-Preis, Glaskasten Marl, Germany.
