Summary
An exhibition project developed around the idea of living, leaving, and experiencing the city.
About
Live & Leave was an exhibition project at Gallery IPPO in Seoul. Alongside contributing to the exhibition concept, the project involved promotional content, venue research, and the development of exhibition-related materials and souvenirs.
The exhibition explored into the narrative of urban traces within contemporary society, exploring how cities, under the immense influence of gentrification, are constantly dismantled and reassembled.
It is aimed to take a look at the spaces and lives that have been marginalized or forgotten due to these changes. Challenging the reliance on digital mapping, it questions whether unrecognized spaces can truly remain hidden in the digital age. Through the revival of placemaking principles, 'Live, Leave' tried to reawaken the sensory experiences of urban inhabitants, highlighting the forgotten memories, the aesthetic and structural nuances of cityscapes, and the personal narratives that weave through the urban fabric.
