[Joo Seong-cheol's Locker] The King Lear of Korea and Japan, Lee Soon-jae and Nakadai Tatsuya, Two Masters Rest

I become fascinated by objects in movies. I fall into deep contemplation about why those objects were placed in front of the camera, whether by the director, cinematographer, art director, or actors. 'Joo Seong-cheol's Locker' is a record of the objects in movies that have lightly stepped on my eyes.
“O poor and naked souls who are suffering from this harsh storm somewhere. How are you enduring this fierce storm, clutching your hungry belly without a room to lay your head, dressed in rags under a hole-ridden window. I have been too indifferent to you all this time.
