Provoked by the 2007 MT <em>Hebei Spirit<\\/em> Oil Spill (HSOS), in which 10,900 tons of crude oil spilled into the sea and contaminated the Korean coastline, Yangkura has focused his practice on the effects of anthropogenic marine pollution. In 2013 he began collecting and categorizing the waste from North Korea, China, and Japan that washed ashore on the coast of South Korea. By tracing tidal movements, he established the migratory pattens for marine debris moving among these countries, discovering that Korea’s trash frequently makes its way to Tsushima Island in Japan. He suspects that this island’s unique geographic formation makes it behave like a vacuum for international garbage, allowing the waters east of Korea to stay relatively clean. As Yangkura’s research suggests, the litter collecting in our oceans does not recognize geopolitical boundaries.<br \\/><br \\/>In 2015 Yangkura began constructing “waste monsters”—whimsical, colossal trash costumes, each with its own fictive identity. Yangkura wears these costumes while stilt-walking in performances intended to draw public awareness to the grotesqueness of our collective marine pollution problem. While he recognizes other environmental activists attempting to shock the public into change, he does not believe this approach is sustainable. Instead, he prefers to broach the topic of anthropogenic pollution through storytelling, weaving fantastic, subliminal narratives to engage and educate. In 2017 Yangkura began working with Tsushima CAPPA, a Japanese environmental organization focused on promoting awareness of marine pollution and on cleaning Tsushima Island. He used this collaboration to create a new “monster,” a character he hoped would deftly underscore selfishness as a fundamental human problem. <em>Forgotten Tongsinsa or Forgotten Messenger<\\/em> (2017–) is constructed from trash originating in Korea, China, and Japan recovered from the coast of Tsushima Island (the word tongsinsa refers to a messenger with a diplomatic purpose, and it was originally applied to envoys sent to Japan on goodwill missions during the Joseon era). Yangkura describes Forgotten Tongsinsa as a good monster who dearly misses home and is simply trying to find his way back again.<\\/p>\",\"thumbnail_url\":\"https:\\/\\/hammer.assetbank-server.com\\/assetbank-hammer\\/servlet\\/display?file=22137999f1210b48b6.jpg\",\"title_slug\":\"breathe-yangkura\",\"duration\":\"00:01:25\",\"id\":\"1922\"},{\"asset_id\":1910,\"title\":\"Breath(e): Toward Climate and Social Justice trailer\",\"description\":\"<p>Part of Getty’s region-wide initiative PST ART: Art and Science Collide, the Hammer presents Breath(e): Toward Climate and Social Justice, organized by guest co-curators Glenn Kaino and Mika Yoshitake.

Flipside documents his tragicomic attempt to revive the store while revisiting other documentary projects he has abandoned over the years. In the process, Wilcha captures This American Life icon Ira Glass in the midst of a creative rebirth, discovers the origin story of David Bowie’s ode to a local New Jersey cable television hero, and uncovers the unlikely connection between jazz photographer Herman Leonard and TV writer David Milch. This disparate collection of stories coheres into something strange and expansive—a moving meditation on music, work, and the sacrifices and satisfaction of trying to live a creative life.<\\/p>\\r\\n<p>This screening is organized as part of Summer Night Cinema: True Stories.

Provoked by the 2007 MT <em>Hebei Spirit<\\/em> Oil Spill (HSOS), in which 10,900 tons of crude oil spilled into the sea and contaminated the Korean coastline, Yangkura has focused his practice on the effects of anthropogenic marine pollution. In 2013 he began collecting and categorizing the waste from North Korea, China, and Japan that washed ashore on the coast of South Korea. By tracing tidal movements, he established the migratory pattens for marine debris moving among these countries, discovering that Korea’s trash frequently makes its way to Tsushima Island in Japan. He suspects that this island’s unique geographic formation makes it behave like a vacuum for international garbage, allowing the waters east of Korea to stay relatively clean. As Yangkura’s research suggests, the litter collecting in our oceans does not recognize geopolitical boundaries.<br \\/><br \\/>In 2015 Yangkura began constructing “waste monsters”—whimsical, colossal trash costumes, each with its own fictive identity. Yangkura wears these costumes while stilt-walking in performances intended to draw public awareness to the grotesqueness of our collective marine pollution problem. While he recognizes other environmental activists attempting to shock the public into change, he does not believe this approach is sustainable. Instead, he prefers to broach the topic of anthropogenic pollution through storytelling, weaving fantastic, subliminal narratives to engage and educate. In 2017 Yangkura began working with Tsushima CAPPA, a Japanese environmental organization focused on promoting awareness of marine pollution and on cleaning Tsushima Island. He used this collaboration to create a new “monster,” a character he hoped would deftly underscore selfishness as a fundamental human problem. <em>Forgotten Tongsinsa or Forgotten Messenger<\\/em> (2017–) is constructed from trash originating in Korea, China, and Japan recovered from the coast of Tsushima Island (the word tongsinsa refers to a messenger with a diplomatic purpose, and it was originally applied to envoys sent to Japan on goodwill missions during the Joseon era). Yangkura describes Forgotten Tongsinsa as a good monster who dearly misses home and is simply trying to find his way back again.<\\/p>\",\"thumbnail_url\":\"https:\\/\\/hammer.assetbank-server.com\\/assetbank-hammer\\/servlet\\/display?file=22137999f1210b48b6.jpg\",\"title_slug\":\"breathe-yangkura\",\"duration\":\"00:01:25\",\"id\":\"1922\"},{\"asset_id\":1797,\"title\":\"Art & Ideas: Sylvia Earle\",\"description\":\"<p>Famed oceanographer and explorer Sylvia Earle shares her journey as a participant in decades of unprecedented ocean discoveries and as a witness to devastating loss, and what actions now can reverse planetary decline<\\/p>\",\"thumbnail_url\":\"https:\\/\\/hammer.assetbank-server.com\\/assetbank-hammer\\/servlet\\/display?file=22137999f923085888.jpg\",\"title_slug\":\"art-ideas-sylvia-earle\",\"duration\":\"00:04:15\",\"id\":\"1797\"},{\"asset_id\":1745,\"title\":\"Protecting the Amazon Rainforest: Averting the ecological tipping point\",\"description\":\"<p>Indigenous leaders and artists lead a conversation on the global significance of the Amazon biome by highlighting how California’s oil imports affect the future of the Amazon rainforest and calling for 80% of the Amazon to be permanently protected by 2025.
