A documentary about Nam June Paik, the contemporary artist known as the 'father of video art'. Nam June Paik destroyed the boundaries between art and technology, foreseeing the arrival of the digital society long before the internet became widespread. The film unravels his life journey from Korea to Japan, Germany, and the United States, as well as his pioneering activities and vision, by exploring a vast archive of materials including his performance videos and writings. It depicts how his art, which surpassed people's imagination, intersected with the popular culture of the time, and highlights his deep involvement with the performance art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, including his life-changing encounter with avant-garde musician John Cage and radical collaborations with Joseph Beuys and Charlotte Moorman. Ryuichi Sakamoto composed the theme music, and Steven Yeun, the actor from 'Minari' and 'Burning', narrates the writings. The film will have its Japanese premiere as part of the special screening project 'Performance Art: A Film Festival Around Body and Space' (starting August 1, 2026, at Eurospace and other theaters nationwide).
