Program Note
Negative emotions and words stick easily. A lump of stress clings to one person's head and jumps effortlessly from a scowling boss to a subordinate, passing through more people than expected and surviving endlessly. The Indian animation An Unwanted Member captures this cycle's terror in just two minutes. It makes you reflect on careless outbursts and choose words and expressions more wisely. Red symbolizes anger against a restrained black-and-beige palette, vividly tracing stress's path. Simple designs, highlighting angry eyebrows, make the message even sharper. (Lee Yoochae)
