At PEM, taking shelter seriously — and fantasies, too
The building in the photographic part of the show is called Evergreen Tower. It's an apartment house in Seoul (Jung is Korean). In 2001, he posted a message in a hallway there: 'An artist will take a portrait of your family for free. Eligible: any family of two or more living in Evergreen Tower.' The 32 families shown here took him up on the offer. Jung shot all the photographs straight on, in the living room, windows in the background. Beyond that, he let the sitters decide how to arrange themselves: what to wear, which items to be seen with, how casual or formal their manner. This is no shelter or fashion shoot, with an art director in charge. Rather, it's the sitters who handle art direction. As Jung intends, each photograph is a collaboration between them and him. Advertisement Jung Yeondoo, from the series "Evergreen Tower," 2001. Jung Yeondoo The apartments would seem to share the same design. The layout and size of the living rooms appear identical, as do the floor-to-ceiling windows in the background. The furnishings vary, of course, as do the people. The resulting tension between repetition and variation lends 'Evergreen Tower' much of its fascination, though maybe even more comes from the snoop factor. It's hard to resist getting a peek at the details of other people's domestic lives. Advertisement No socioeconomic information on the subjects is given. Based on the furnishings, residents would appear to be affluent. Based on the relatively modest size of the space, they would not appear to be wealthy. Most of the families have four members, a few have more, and one wonders how cramped the living quarters might get. One wonders if the apartments are uniform in size. What is uniform in size are the photographs: 32 inches by 22 inches. Jung Yeondoo, from the series "Evergreen Tower," 2001. Jung Yeondoo What most definitely isn't uniform are the furnishings. One apartment has a crucifix on the wall. Some have artworks. Most don't. Many have large-screen TVs. (Remember this was almost 25 years ago, so they were still a big deal.) One has a piece of exercise equipment in the foreground. Curtains are usually open, but in a few of the photographs they're drawn. All of the living rooms have the same overhead light — except a few of them don't have a fixture covering them. The compare-and-contrast appeal is considerable.

Starting in 2001, Jung began asking people a simple question likely to elicit complicated answers: 'What is your dream?' He's been asking it ever since: The project is ongoing. This version runs 22 minutes and 30 seconds. Presumably there's one that runs a lot longer than that. The title is a nod to the Advertisement Jung Yeondoo, from "Bewitched," 2001–ongoing.

He then shot them in the context of the life they aspire to. In an effective cinematic touch, the image of reality dissolves into that of fantasy. The size of the projected images is 48 inches by 60 inches, which further adds to the cinematic effect. A gas station attendant, nozzle in hand, turns into a race car driver. A waiter becomes a singer in an old-fashioned honky-tonk. A woman mopping up in an ice cream parlor shifts into a dog-sled driver, holding a harpoon, no less. A bicycle delivery driver is transformed into a maitre d' in a fancy restaurant. Might the waiter who becomes a singer work for him? The transformations take many forms, often overlapping: geographic, economic, vocational, familial. All involve status. The nature of the transformations would be clearer if Jung provided any background information. Perhaps it's better, though, without any. That makes it easier for viewers to superimpose their own bewitching dreams on those of the people in the video. As with 'Evergreen Tower,' the various details seen are so interesting. But the true interest is the universality of dreaming. It's not just Jung's subjects in 'Building Dreams' who are dream-building.

Millennial Gets a Gen Z Doctor at Urgent Care—Can't Cope With What She Says
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After an experience with a Generation Z doctor in urgent care, a woman was left in hysterics by the unexpectedly candid advice she received. Madi Jung, 38, had to go to urgent care on May 22 after she fainted multiple times in the space of 48 hours. The millennial (people born between 1981 and 1997) woman was seen by a doctor who she could tell was younger than her, likely in her mid-20s. Upon listening to Jung's experience, the Gen Z doctor proceeded to tell Jung that she needed to go to the emergency room in an ambulance. While that would be a scary prospect in most cases, the doctor said it in such an amusing and jokey tone that meant Jung couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, Jung, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, told Newsweek that the doctor's vibe was "so warm and friendly," and it instantly put her at ease. It could have been a very stressful experience, but the Gen Zer (people born between 1997 and 2012) ensured that Jung felt heard. Madi Jung discussing her experience with a Gen Z doctor. Madi Jung discussing her experience with a Gen Z doctor. @sabocat / TikTok "The way she spoke to me was the right way to get me to do what she wanted, which was go get a CT scan and an electrolyte panel," Jung said. "She really helped diffuse a serious situation and somehow, I wanted to do what she asked even more because it seemed like she really cared about me." Unfortunately, Jung, a science teacher, told the doctor that she couldn't afford to pay for an ambulance ride—but she wasn't expecting the response she got. According to Jung, the doctor simply said, "just don't pay it. What are they going to do?" Jung certainly enjoyed her candid and jovial bedside manner. "It's adorable because I taught Gen Z students for a few years, and I really enjoyed the group as a whole. I often look out at the students in my classroom and think, wow this is the future. So, it's amazing to actually see Gen Z out in the professional fields, being true to themselves," Jung continued. Following the ordeal, Jung couldn't resist reliving the experience and sharing it on social media. She posted a video on TikTok (@sabocat) detailing her first experience with a Gen Z doctor and it delighted internet users. In just a matter of days, the video has gone viral with over 4.6 million views and more than 675,400 likes on TikTok at the time of writing. Social media users can't get enough of this unusual approach, and Jung has been amazed by the overwhelmingly positive response. Jung welcomes this new wave of young doctors and their professional approach. For anyone who hasn't seen a Gen Z doctor yet, Jung says to "brace yourselves." She told Newsweek: "I love reading the comments and seeing that other people feel affirmed and accepted by their doctors too. Healthcare, like education, is a partnership, and when you enjoy going and feel respected while you are there, you're more likely to get the help you need." Since the video went viral, it has amassed over 12,400 comments on TikTok already. Many internet users took to the comments to share their own experiences of Gen Z in the workplace. One comment reads: "Told a Gen Z doctor I have anxiety, ADHD, and autism, and without even looking up at me she just said, we love [an] AAA battery." Another person wrote: "My gen Z doctor experience was fantastic!! They actually LISTEN it's so wild!" While another TikTok user replied: "No one can convince me that millennials and Gen Z aren't perfect generations for each other." Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share?

'Kaun Rasha?': Sanjay Dutt Fails To Recognise Raveena Tandon's Daughter In Viral Video
Last Updated: Sanjay Dutt's no-nonsense personality has once again caught the attention of the internet. Sanjay Dutt's no-nonsense personality has once again caught the attention of the internet. A new paparazzi video going viral captures the Bollywood star staying true to his grounded nature—even as the rains pour down in Mumbai. In the clip, Sanjay Dutt is seen leaving an event and stepping into his car while it's raining heavily. Concerned for the paparazzi standing outside, he tells them, 'Jaa na re. Ghar jao. Baarish ho rahi hai (Go home, it's raining)." But the paps respond they have been waiting in the rains to click photos of him and his wife, Maanayata Dutt, who usually stay in Dubai. They also mention that they have to wait to click photos of another celebrity—referring to her as 'nayi ladki" (new girl). A visibly puzzled Dutt asks, 'Kaun?" That's when the photographers say, 'Rasha". Still confused, he asks, 'Kaun?" again. The paps then clarify, 'Raveena Tandon ki beti." Sanjay nods and replies, 'Achha, jaao (Okay, go click her pictures)," before driving off. But before he leaves, in true Sanju Baba style, he checks on the paps once more, asking warmly, 'Khaana peena khaaya kya? (Have you all eaten?)" The video has since gone viral on social media, with fans wondering how Sanjay Dutt is unaware about Rasha Thadani, the daughter of Raveena Tandon, who's steadily gaining attention in Bollywood circles. Sanjay Dutt and Raveena Tandon have shared screen space in several Bollywood films, particularly during the 1990s and early 2000s. One of their most notable collaborations was in Aatish: Feel the Fire (1994), an action-packed drama that became a commercial hit. They also starred together in Kshatriya (1993), a multi-starrer war drama, and Jung (2000), which featured them in key roles. In LOC Kargil (2003), both played emotionally driven characters in a film that paid tribute to Indian soldiers. They were also seen in the supernatural thriller Rakht (2004), although not opposite each other. First Published:
