Yaloo
Press release
A computer-generated (CG) animation that blends sci-fi and Korean mythology.
The film builds on Yaloo’s Underwater Trilogy, a series of films, immersive installations and written works. These explore a wide range of ideas across K-culture, capitalism, folklore, cultural identity and stereotypes within the CG industry, all presented from a critical post-human lens.
In the film, a metahuman character appears, biologically entangled with seaweed, in a dreamlike environment. This character refers to a fictional species evolved through hybridisation, whose birth and evolution were driven by changes in dietary patterns due to environmental issues. The character’s hair resembles a female figure that appears in a cave painting in the former Korean kingdom of Goguryeo.
