filmmaker, VJ (aka SH2-276, one of bysexual team), part-time film lecturer.
member of SVP2 ( Spread Videoart Project 2 ).
exhibiting his works at home and abroad.

his main theme in his works is "gazing".
he is trying to expand the meaning of it and the concept of it.

also his theme is how to narrate "stories" without common scripts, by just vision and audito.
he thinks that he has to try new narrative of cinema and believes that he has what he can do for cinema so much.

"this experimental work aims at creating a truly international absolute language of cinema based on its total separation from the language of theatre and literature"
