Wednesday, 12 November, 2025 — Join Arts University Plymouth graduate Moon Seungsung for confluence; currents of analogue film, sound and form at Leadworks, Stonehouse, Plymouth (Fri 21 Nov, 6pm). Hand-processed film, live music, sculpture, and painting.
Arts University Plymouth graduate Moon Seungsung returns to Plymouth on Friday 21 November with confluence; currents of analogue film, sound and form at Leadworks, 170 Rendle Street, Stonehouse, PL1 1TP.
<p>Doors open at <strong>6pm</strong> for a slow, sensory evening where hand-processed film, live music, sculpture and painting meet — with small plates of Korean food. </p>
<p>Confluence is the first gathering under <strong>at confluence</strong>, a new artist-led platform shaped by care, collaboration and materiality. The night opens with time to explore the space: sculpture by <strong>Kristofer Stone</strong> and paintings by <strong>Alisha-May Lewis</strong> set a tone of embodied mark-making and ecological attention.</p>
<p>At <strong>7pm</strong> the room settles for an analogue screening of <strong>Matt Trumfield’s</strong> <em>over land flow</em> and *<em>Moon Seungsung’s</em> <em>miyeok-guk</em>, followed by a short break and a live performance led by composer <strong>Sohee Baek</strong> with <strong>Chaeeun Lee</strong> on haegeum, featuring original music from Moon’s films. The evening closes with Moon’s <em>on the way to jip</em> and a Q&A.</p>

Moon works with expired Super 8, hand-processed film and 35mm stills to explore memory, identity and the quiet in-between. Her practice resists neat narratives in favour of intimacy and presence; <em>on the way to jip</em> searches gently for what “home (집)” might mean.</p>
