From the video work I made in 2018, HOME, I named the climax sequence in the middle “backslash” as the symbol type. I used punctuation marks and etc. with brackets to symbolise each scene to speak without words in the project – such as “ . ” : to illustrate from the moon to the dot on our minds, or “ _ ” : to think about what would be under the score. And just now I found out I cannot type backslash with my Korean keyboard or even if I can do, in some cases, it will be shown as the symbol with two lines on big W, which refer to Korean currency ‘won’. As in many American cartoons that uses dollar sign to refer to a blind mind for money and capitalism, it is used just the same way in Korea. I guess it is a sort of an universal and common visual method everywhere doing so using their own currency marks. Anyway, as to speak, when I was trying to speak in imagery words to describe what happens (in the video) and what happened (to me before) it would be shown in money somewhere else perhaps.

Type “\” and see where you are now.
