[희미한 집들] _ Faint House –The Way Home

[Faint Houses] originated from the designer's memories, who used to wander through the alleyways all day and return home in the evening, accompanied by the faint light seeping over the walls. During his childhood, the village along the path was illuminated by the light streaming through windows, when all of a sudden it felt like one giant house, with individual houses shining like small lamps within. Reaching home after a long journey, there were days of relief. It was like an illusion where small objects appear to be very large while in contrast, the vast world appears to shrink. These memories differ from the present, where streetlights illuminate the cold bright roads to underground parking lots. However, even as an adult, there are occasional moments when one desires to walk along that faint light. This exhibition, "Faint Houses" isn't about houses built through laying foundations, constructing structures, or erecting walls, but rather about translating a house's visual definition through a craft-based approach. Perhaps these lights are constructed for the present cityscape which seems to lose its warmth despite rows of bright streetlights. In the corners of the darkening city, houses stand tall, each emitting its light, awaiting its audience.
