A Korean street puffed-rice machine at an outdoor market in winter: a black cast-iron drum cannon on a stand, a wire mesh cage fixed in front of its mouth. First 2 seconds: the drum turns slowly over a small flame, a gloved hand resting on the lever. Third second: the lever is pulled and the lid bursts open with a huge white blast of steam. Final 2 seconds: puffed rice cakes and grains pour out into the mesh cage while the steam cloud drifts and thins. Only gloved hands and forearms visible, no faces. Warm afternoon light, static locked-off camera. Sound: a loud bang then hissing steam, no speech. No text, no letters, no logos
