In the super8 film Watercamera a mirror reflex camera floats on the surface of the Cheongyecheon (청계천) stream in Seoul and is closely followed by the filmmaker. The water is murky but rocks can be seen passing by on the bottom. Here and there fragments of trees and buildings reflect in the water, hinting towards the surrounding urban environment. The Cheongyecheon area is known for its history of manufacture and is, together with Yongsan market, one of the last places in Soeul where electronics are still actively assembled and repaired. As the area is currently being redeveloped, this kind of labor is outsourced to remote warehouses and in the process of disappearing from urban life. Historically, the Cheongyecheon stream alternated its function as an important transport line into the city center of Seoul, and as a sewer that allowed waste to flow out of the densely populated area. The ambiguous nature of the camera, an object that seems to have been thrown away but is mysteriously able to balance itself on the water surface, echoes this double history of the stream. Between transport and waste.
