A standard length for a roll of 16mm film is 100 feet / 30.5 metres. Filmmaker Minjung Kim approaches film as a physical medium, as a body. In a series of works, she explores the relationship between standard film length and duration. (100ft) consists of 100 feet / 30.5 metres of film. The length of the film is represented by two figures in a landscape, each taking exactly 100 steps for the duration of the entire roll of film. The pace is determined by the fact that 1 foot of film contains 40 frames, which at 24 frames per second is approximately 1.66 seconds per foot. The two figures, a man and a woman, move step by step through the film frame, with the distance between the man and the woman increasing. (100ft) implicitly questions the dominant influence of gender in a measurement standard based on the adult male foot.
