Water and white walls.

The water holds an inverted view of the building and trees. Beyond it, white walls open onto a sweep of green.

The visit brings the museum’s setting into the same frame as the work of Kim Byung-jong.

The place

Solid and reflected, enclosed and open: these are the relationships that make the place memorable. The building and its surroundings belong to the same view.

A short film can hold both the scale of the architecture and a moment of looking. A place portrait leaves room to return to the details.
