A compass of history, The Map of Korea


I am currently creating a complete map of Korea.
This map consists of images photographed in each different
place.
My map is a record of time rather than of the earth.

I witnessed and recorded.

However, I do not have the courage to testify.

Still, as one of the intellectuals who lived in the early 21st
century,
I would like to create a map of time full of metaphors and
analogies, Then covertly leave it.

I want those who might own this book to know that I wanted to
testify to the fact that the compass on the map always points to
the Korea of the early 21st century.
