다양한 음식과 사람들이 만나 모든 것들이 어우러져 여기 한상 위에 새롭고 특별한 아름다움으로 기억된다

Bukchang Table celebrates the diverse culinary culture of Bukchang-dong, a district in the heart of Seoul. Sited within this environment, the atmosphere is vibrant and bustling. Working with an intimate understanding of the area, the video visualises not only the overhaul of the senses from the food but everything connected to it. Commuters, students, tourists, locals and history itself.

The title is drawn from the traditional Korean table setting which consists of a main bowl of rice and soup with an assortment of side dishes. This harmonious feeling resonates with the work, in its constant scattering and coming together. Each colourful and playful element takes part in the interaction, like the planets in the universe.
