LoadingLoadingAn immersive media artwork that begins with the question, "What is the art that is your life?" Three walls and the floor of Park Chung-hee Gymnasium were joined into one space where the phrase "26,000 won, the price of a life" flows upward like a reversed waterfall.

01 Planning
The question of a waterfall flowing backward
We began with the question, "What is the art that is your life?" Thinking of a humble death that occurred right beside a place where art is performed, we planned a scene in which the phrase "26,000 won, the price of a life" flows in reverse.
02 Design
Three walls and a floor inside the gymnasium
Inside Park Chung-hee Gymnasium, we joined three walls and the floor into a single immersive space. The four surfaces were linked as one flow so that the text crosses the floor and climbs the walls.
03 Production
Three scenes: waterfall, wave, rainbow
We produced three videos: Waterfall, Wave, and Rainbow. The waterfall scene, in which the phrase "26,000 won" streams backward like water, became the center of the work and filled the entire space.
04 Operations
Children playing on the waterfall
During the exhibition, children ran across the text flowing over the floor while visitors photographed the waterfall on the walls. The paradox remained as a scene: the waterfall flows backward only on the path where happiness flows.
