Motoko and Ha Sangcheol’s The Image of Happiness: The First Scene borrows the records from the first silent movie in history, Roundhay Garden Scene (1888), which came about in the late 19th century from a collective yearning to capture how the world moves. The short silent film, running 2 seconds and consisting of 20 frames, captures four people going around in a circle in a garden. The Image of Happiness: The First Scene optically dissects the original and circular images of the short silent film and restructures them. In this process, the film images are reborn not as a model of camera obscura projected in a dark theater but as a praxinoscope model that plays as a continuing apparition on cylinders and mirrors.
