Fake nostalgia 2023



 My current experience of being in a foreign country and living as a stranger is a reminder that I am an alien entity that cannot be united with the place where I live now.
In this context, I try to find an imagined sanctuary through images. This small installation and photography in studio is based on my memories of Korea, but the images are fictional. This photographs create a sense of déjà vu, but I can't infer the real space and scene from these reconstructed images. The landscapes and scenes I am trying to hold onto are probably just fictional memories and nostalgia based on imagination that do not exist.
