Two men are passionately engaging in a sexual romp in a bedroom, when a sound engineer suddenly appears, unnoticed. He is in the process of capturing sounds for a very specific collection. Amid the still days and clear nights he finds many sounds that interest and stimulate him, from grasshoppers and wind in the forest, to traffic and voices in the city. Although each of the twenty-four locations he visits is distinct from the others, they do share one thing: in most, there are people working, singing, speaking. The traces of civilization that express emotions ranging from joy and excitement to sadness and regret blend together the worlds of living things and of inanimate objects. Why is he compiling this collection of sounds? Even without him, people would continue living today not so differently from yesterday. However, his actions document a small fragment of life in the thousands years of civilization. On the other hand, our present day is the sum of the gifted legacy of many of these unnamed contributors of the past. (PARK Sungho)
