"Delight is a story about the coexistence of duality."
Inspired by the vibrant cityscape of Seoul, ‘Delight’ is a new multimedia exhibition that combines visuals, sound, and augmented reality to animate the cultural heritage and spirit of the city.
7 September, London. Seoul-based artist Gyoungtae Hong and director Younsook Im presents the first dedicated multimedia exhibition to explore the bustling city of Seoul. Set against the backdrop of the Victorian tunnels at Borough Yards, visitors will be able to weave through the multi-sensory display and immerse themselves in the heritage and culture of Seoul.
City Pules (2020)
Drawing on Seoul's vast cultural heritage such as the Gwanghwamun, Myeongdongand Korean deities, each installation asks visitors to consider how different aspects of the past remain in contemporary Korean society today. A vibrant city with a population of just under 10 million, the exhibition brings the busy metropolis of Seoul to life. In this fresh interpretation of media art, visitors will witness the history, life, and identity of the city. Taking inspiration from poetry and literature as well as exploring the impact of urbanisation the immersive spaces show viewers where ancient meets modern.
