Urban Seoul Log: Recording the Background of the City as the Main Character
Nothing in the streets of Seoul is placed there by accident.
The railings, curbstones, and unnamed covers we pass every day without noticing all stand where they are for a reason.
Sometimes they are gestures for safety, sometimes responses to past inconveniences, and sometimes traces of urban administration.
Urban Seoul Log began from a small curiosity to look for the intentions hidden within this familiar landscape.
Rather than offering grand analyses, I want to begin with a simple record: one photograph from the street and one question.
“Why is this here, in this particular form?”
By asking this question, I believe we may come to understand the city we live in a little more deeply.
This space is not meant to be a one-way record of my own observations.
When the small traces found in Seoul meet examples from other cities, and when different experiences are shared, the city becomes a living story.
I invite you to join this journey of looking at the ordinary landscape with unfamiliar eyes.
