Seeing Seoul: Through Glass

2018 - a documentary


During my stay in Korea, especially in it's capital city Seoul, I noticed that the country in east asia without doubt is the land of the future. Minimalist living in traditional houses is an almost bygone era. By now technology is living hand in hand with the human being and accompanies the daily life of the korean population around the clock. If you’re attentive you will notice the existence of at least one sort of panel in every single picture. It seems that seeing Seoul nowadays needs to happen through a transparent barrier to discover it's true soul of the present age.
