Description

Skeletal remains were recently discovered underwater at the Chōsei coal mine in Japan, a site where many Korean laborers lost their lives during WWII. This AI video work evokes symbolic imagery and skeletal presences, questioning how silenced history resurfaces. This work was created in response to the recent news that skeletal remains were discovered underwater at the site of the Chōsei coal mine in Japan. Active during the Second World War, the mine is remembered as a place where many Korean laborers lost their lives under harsh working conditions. The recovery of the remains was carried out entirely by civic organizations, without any cooperation from the Japanese government. By evoking symbolic imagery and skeletal presences, the work reconfigures the persistence of memory and a silenced history through AI art, posing a critical question.
