It is set in 2022. The story attempts to braid together a few concerns in the works of Hong Sangsoo that encompass the possibility of nondualistic relations: between authenticity and falsity, between humility and vanity, and between cultivation and resolute action. <br><br>Preceding this reading of a story entitled “Wither in Hong Sangsoo” is a 21-minute video essay called “Weather in Hong Sangsoo.” “Weather in Hong Sangsoo” is a compilation film that collages footage from films Hong has thus far directed in a career that spans over the past 15 years—one that began with his debut film, “The Day a Pig Fell into the Well” (1996), and continues most recently with “In Another Country” (2012). The video essay foregrounds cryptic themes found in Hong Sangsoo’s films, such as weather, trees, and the unseen, and argues that they are constant forces of passion, renewal, and even transmigration in Hong’s work. <br><br>Kyung Hyun Kim is Professor of East Asian Languages and Literatures and Director of Critical Theory Emphasis at UC Irvine.
