영화에서 “ 틈(隙 )”에대한 공간연구－봉준호감독 영화를 중심으로－

Abstract

Spaces seen in a series of films by Film Director Bong Joon-ho are those ofrepresentation of contradictions produced by post-capitalism the contemporary societyis facing. Expansion and inclination of power with urbanization have spread to an issueof alienation of individuals and family members. Constant’s New Babylon, whichshows unitary urban planning in a form of a concretized city, depends its realizationupon sharing of the land and complete automation of production. Spaces in his filmsdevelop those isolated internally as an important environmental element. When onelooks at his works, it is necessary to have a vision to see the layers of topography andspace from macroscopic and conceptual perspectives, breaking away from microscopicand concrete ones, and have an organic understanding of a space, which constantlychanges beyond a physical structure. An architectural space is a place that formalizes therelationship with the world surrounding us. The formation of a city can be seen as theproduction of structures, and this spatial system is reproduced and utilized in the spacesof Director Bong’s films in a situation of the time in which the more compressed thegrowth in an environment, the thicker the shade becomes. To him, the space of ‘gaps’ isthe time of losses of Korean society in the past, and he makes his characters challenge tothe resulting critical spatial situation, which is a space of issues we should deal with inthe future as well as reflect on the time that has passed outside the films.
