Uh-deu-meh is a Korean dialect word which indicates direction but not a fixed coordinate. It is both a place and an emotion, not somewhere to arrive at but rather somewhere you instinctively gesture toward. In this book, one person interprets it through photography, and the other through writing. The fragments each gathered intertwined to form a terrain of emotion.

This zine transforms a 4-minute 1917 silent film into printed form from the perspective of 2024, juxtaposing still images with three layers of text. This composition, seemingly smooth yet misaligned, reveals the impossibility of translating colonial experience and historical trauma.

This prose poetry publication functions as a score for performance, where typography, spacing, color, and paragraph breaks guide the reader's breath, rhythm, and silence. The pilcrow (¶) was a red mark in medieval manuscripts indicating where to breathe and pause, but disappeared with the rise of print. The project revisits the pilcrow to recall what has become invisible in contemporary reading: bodily rhythm, manual labor, and the value of silence.

Just as ripe pomegranates burst to reveal gleaming seeds, scission reveals what lies hidden within and gives form to unheard voices.

About Us

Scission Press is an independent publishing house founded in Amsterdam in 2025. The word “scission” means cutting and division. A cut is not a simple separation. In the moment of cutting, forms are revealed, boundaries become sharper, and what was hidden comes into view. Scission Press pursues a form of publishing in which scattered fragments turn into language and lines of fracture create new resonance.


Founded and operated by critic, researcher, and publishing and cultural practitioner Dokyung (Doki) Ha, Scission Press questions institutional norms and explores critical voices and experimental practices. Through publishing, a space is created where people, ideas, and disciplines can resonate with one another beyond boundaries.


Publications from Scission Press are not finished endpoints but living processes. Work unfolds collaboratively across poetry and prose, photography and essays, interviews and criticism, together with writers, critics, designers, curators, translators, and researchers. Each book extends into exhibitions, workshops, readings, and collective research, becoming another site for imagining, discussing, and remembering together.


Scission is not an ending but a beginning. Through the act of cutting, new ways of relating, caring, and publishing are sought, along with the possibilities that emerge in the space between.

시션프레스는 2025년 암스테르담에서 설립된 독립 출판사입니다. ‘Scission’은 절단, 분열을 의미합니다. 절단은 단순한 분리가 아닙니다. 자르는 순간 형태가 드러나고, 경계가 선명해지며, 감춰져 있던 것이 나타납니다. 시션프레스는 흩어진 파편이 말이 되고, 균열이 새로운 울림이 되는 출판을 실천합니다.


비평가이자 연구자, 출판 및 문화 실천가인 하도경이 운영하는 시션프레스는 제도가 정한 기준에 의문을 던지며, 비판적 목소리와 실험적 실천을 탐구합니다. 출판을 통해 서로가 경계 없이 공명하고 영향을 주고받는 공간을 만들어갑니다.


시션프레스의 출판물은 완성된 결과물이 아니라 살아 있는 과정입니다. 시와 산문, 사진과 에세이, 인터뷰와 비평을 아우르며 작가, 비평가, 디자이너, 큐레이터, 번역가, 연구자들과 협업합니다. 출판은 전시와 워크숍, 낭독회, 공동 연구로 확장되며, 함께 상상하고 토론하고 기억하는 또 하나의 장이 됩니다.


시션은 끝이 아니라 시작입니다. 절단을 통해 관계를 상상하고, 삶을 돌보며, 다른 방식의 출판이 열어가는 새로운 가능성을 모색합니다.
