[감정의 표본실] 호기심

Curiosity, rendered as a scene: a child's desk in a 1990s Korean apartment, covered with an old newspaper spread out as a work mat. On it, a wind-up mechanical alarm clock has been completely taken apart: the bells, the back plate, gears of every size, springs, tiny screws, all laid out in careful rows in the order they came off. A small screwdriver, a magnifying glass and an empty biscuit tin holding more parts. The clock face lies blank and upturned. Warm afternoon light, 35mm film grain. No people. No text, no letters, no numbers on the newspaper or clock face.
