The exhibition explores South Korea's contemporary art scene through video art, an art form deeply intertwined with the country's history and society. It highlights the originality of artistic practices that, despite developing within a relatively small territory, have in recent years established themselves as among the most dynamic, attracting international acclaim.
Conceived as an immersive experience, the exhibition presents the work of eight emerging artists and collectives. It unfolds through a fluid, fast-paced layout that moves among contrasting imaginaries, perceptions, and dimensions.
Although rooted in Korean culture, the artworks address global issues such as the relationship between technology and the human body, historical memory, migration, and the pressures of modern working life. Through immersive installations, screenings, and virtual reality, the exhibition explores different ways of experiencing video art. Several works reflect on historical trauma, including references to the Sewol Ferry Disaster and the Jeju Uprising. Others imagine speculative futures shaped by digital systems, economic models, and environmental change.
