Kim Seong Hwan (b. 1932, Korea)

 

Tear Gas Moving!  (1970)
During the 1970s, Korean campuses were scenes of frequent public protest against the military regime. Riot police would employ tear gas to disperse the crowds of demonstrating students. The gas was exceptionally strong. The day after the protest it would still hang in the air like an invisible sheet of pepper. This is a satire that takes off on the relocation of Seoul National University’s campus. The tear gas, of course, followed.
