Early Ritual & Moving-Image Works

Independent performance films exploring bodily memory, myth, ritual, death and renewal, and the relation between body and place. This early moving-image lineage continues through MOUM: The Living Archive and We, We Wish.

RED GOKKAL, MAGO GAIA, and Circle of Life are the principal works in this group. Incense Offering remains a supporting work.

In MAGO GAIA (2020), Soojin Pray develops a site-responsive ritual performance into a 9 min 33 sec non-verbal moving-image work. Its selection for LOVPop 2026: LOVE – POWER – PEACE brings this early inquiry into myth, body, and place into a new international context without changing the work's original date or form.
