ETERNAL WALKERS

Eternal Walkers : Hayoun Kwon revisits the ‘Taoist Immortals’ painting, an 18th-century Korean masterpiece by Gim Hong-do exhibited at Samsung Leeum Museum. Invited on a journey where our walking is the master of time, we follow the path of the immortal gods and cross paths with other eternal walkers: refugees on the road to exodus, or stars in the firmament. Through the parallelism of the representations, visitors travel through these different scenes, moving in time forward and backward alongside these eternal walkers.
