A series of interventions scattered around ArtSonje Center and the adjacent project space (togehter)(togehter) during a 3-month residency in Seoul/South Korea.
At the beginning of Don Quixote, the main protagonist is being convinced that an adversarial wizard stole his cherished library. The quest to recover it quickly spirals into a series of unpredictable adventures. Much like Cervantes’ classic Seoul embodies a similar spirit of serendipitous discovery. Looking for lost rooms in a city of high modular cohesion sometimes rewards curiosity.
