Sunrise at Mt. Artsonje

Sunrise at Mt. Artsonje (2007) is an 8mm film by Shimabuku, transferred to HD video, documenting a site-specific performance on the unused rooftop of the Artsonje Centre, Korea. Inviting museum staff to watch the sunrise and cook cutlass fish together at 5:30 am, the work transforms the museum into a mountain peak, exploring overlooked customs, daily rituals, and the creation of new languages and aesthetic experiences.
