In the 1960s, Korea began to build apartments as part of an economic development policy that came with the rise of an authoritarian government. Mountains and rivers were covered, and the entire country became the same residential space. The apartments that have become Korea’s representative residential space today are not simply homes, but the inevitable pinnacle of economic and cultural desires.
The panorama, which is a collage of photographs, shows the abandoned and alienated landscapes of the outskirts during this process. Like an inverted glove, the back of the place where the outside is projected upside down reveals the flow of desire and aspiration for a home. Will she, who spent her childhood in a house with a yard before the development boom, be able to realize her lifelong dream of a small garden where she can grow her own food?
