This study explores the literary surface created by Lee Changdong’s films “Poetry” and “Burning” through the aporia presented in them. Both films utilize literary themes of poetry and novels to sensuously present the impossibility of literature, repeatedly revealing the aporia of impossible representation/narrative by the subject. This aporia leads to the limitations of literature itself and the difficulty of writing towards others, inevitably placing the audience in a passive writer’s position.
