As an active member of a group, Mover and Ubuntu, Kim Bong Su, a modern dance choreographer who dedicated to expand the meaning and the boundary of modern dance have participated as a choreographer in zombie genre productions such as movies and TV shows, to express the movement of zombies. In the performance of , a dancer who is covered with the zombie powder that is used to paralyze slaves’ senses to deprive their will, graphically delivers the movement of twisted zombies rushing, squeaking and possessed in madness. In this work, the artist relates the image of zombies that move only by the basic instincts to today’s reality experiencing ethical regression due to development of media. Fake news unrestrainedly swings big data like a weapon through Social Networks and accelerate biased thinking while it forget the original purpose of delivering truths. So, perhaps the zombies are not so different from us who are twisted and rushing.
