[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] David’s Stone That Took Down Goliath, “David” All the Way Through

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] David’s Stone That Took Down Goliath, “David” All the Way Through

I can’t help getting captivated by the objects in movies. I fall into deep thought over why, whether it’s the director, the cinematographer, the art director—or even the actor—someone felt compelled to place that particular item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that came down on my eyes like stepping onto a soft stair.
