A series of short films combining meditative moving-image scenes, sound, and instrumental music. One Minute Meditations was filmed continuously during several years of life as a pilgrim in East Asia. Each film takes place during the artist’s meditation in a public space.
The soundtrack is created in collaboration with Korean traditional instrumentalist, Bomnunbyeol (봄눈별). In addition to the in-film soundtrack, the music has also been performed live in gallery with the musician.
Below is a collection of short excerpts from the series:
