Born in Suwon, South Korea. PAIK Jong-kwan got into university to study Electronics, then received his BA in Psychology from Chung-Ang University and MFA in Film from the Graduate School of Communication and Arts at Yonsei University. For his master thesis, he analyzed the digital image of Chris Marker. Jong-kwan collects images and sounds in daily life, working through the process of contemplation of their social context and—simultaneously—of the materiality of the film medium. He continues to produce experimental films based on research with in-depth study of images.
