One morning, a shirt and a pair of pants come out of a closet. They come together to form a person who eats breakfast, chooses a hat and puts it on. In this universe, people are composed of nothing but clothes. What happens when a girl, who has a body but no clothes, enters this strange universe?
By playfully switching perspectives, Korea-born director Jeong (winner of the Crystal for Best Short with her film Man on the Chair at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival 2014) makes us pay attention to the hang of a fabric, its lines, without asking us to be some kind of fashionista. Vacuum is also matter in an otherwise very ritualistic world that Jeong draws with a lovely René-Magritte-like touch. Muted surrealism. When an outsider stumbles there, the following sweet chaos reveals how the director brilliantly creates energy in deceptively calm images. A feeling fitting with the main characteristic of Jeong’s craft, depending on who you ask: she stated once how in Korea people complain that she works too slowly, while in Europe people will say the opposite.
