Hayoun Kwon revisits the ‘Taoist Immortals’ painting, an 18th-century Korean masterpiece by Gim Hong-do exhibited at Samsung Leeum Museum. Invited on a journey where our walking is the master of time, we follow the path of the immortal gods and cross paths with other eternal walkers: refugees on the road to exodus, or stars in the firmament. Through the parallelism of the representations, visitors travel through these different scenes, moving in time forward and backward alongside these eternal walkers.

XXth Attempt towards the Potential of Magic experiment on the possibility of an organic relationship between the virtual and real worlds. Wearing the VR headset, the audience will experience a moment where an artificially created fiction connects with the reality via something that connects the gallery and the virtual world. Perceiving the audience who participates in the VR experience as the connecting point of virtual and real worlds, Hayoun Kwon aims to shed light on the creative moment that emerges from their body and action.

Seoul, 1934. Korea is under Japanese occupation. Like “ethno-detectives,” viewers follow in the footsteps of Kubo, a Korean writer, in his urban flânerie. Through caricatures that mock the shortcomings of a Korean society emerging from the poverty and archaisms of the past, explore a city recklessly discovering the modernity and prosperity that come with occupation.

This adventure invites us to enter the heart of a story, which Daniel, a now retired drawing teacher, told us concerning a brief but striking encounter which occurred in Paris, in 1967. When an asset manager asked him to draw up a plan of a 16th-century building in the heart of Paris, he went into the flat of an enthusiastic collector of birds, nicknamed “The Bird Lady”. Her home was an exotic enchantment of birds either flying around freely or in refined cages. The more Daniel explored it, the less he felt that he was in Paris.

The village in this film is loosely inspired by a North Korean propaganda village, Kijong-dong. Hayoun Kwon reveals a setting and invites us into fiction, making a journey by proxy. This film testifies to this ghost town in its true state as a mechanism of fiction. The reality of a border confronted with its staging. This village can only be reached in our imagination.

Lack of Evidence is the account of a Nigerian called Oscar exiled in France, which confronts a historical and social reality with a personal and intimate testimony. Taking as a point of departure Oscar’s request for asylum in France, this fictional document is a peregrination on the different levels of the reconstitution of memory and the subjectivity of its interpretation.

A voyage through the history of a country. 1910-1945: The time of occupation during which the Japanese occupied Korea. Two fictions, one social & one historical, intersect. Japan obscures, forgets, erases. A fiction by omission. Korea, justified in its suffering, constructs a history of victimization and catharsis. A staged (and continually restaged) fiction. After having seen Japan, today I depart for Korea, to the prison of Seodaemun. How to find the appropriate distance when faced with these images of horror reconstructed as theme park?
