Countless social tragedies have taken place repeatedly in South Korean history, from building collapses, massive fires, and ferry sinkings to the casualties at the workplace and protest sites. But not everyone comes together to grieve and fully understand the causes of these deaths. Even those who had mourned at the beginning later started to blame and inflict pain on the victims. LIFE is an exploration of the process of mourning that we have stopped, have been or will be doing after a social disaster. It is also an observation of possibility. Between those who wanted to stop the emotional contagion of sadness and return to their previous lives, and the remaining few who wanted to start over from their deep sorrow by living with the dead, could there have been the possibility of preventing more sadness from taking place within the process of mourning, which we had rushed through and hastily suspended? If so, wouldn't we be able to find hope for preventing future disasters in their meetings? This journey is depicted by the places where these few individuals are standing and facing, the sites and memorials of each disaster, and the actions of the citizens who are standing in front of them.​
