Back to Back

2021 • Directed by

Jooyeon Lee

Jooyeon Lee documents and visually composes the political influence of loneliness through films, drawings and texts.

Filmed during lockdown, Back to Back is a performance film about care centred around a phone conversation between a cleaning agency employee and a woman trying to empty a locked fridge. When the two women meet-up they engage in a strange dance through the streets of Seoul, locked together back-to-back in a movement of mutual support and dependence.
