Event summary

Highlights

Multi-disciplinary works by the French-speaking artist collective Nuances
Sebastien Simon’s 3D documentary film “The Old, The New and The Other”
Exploration of urban transformation and gentrification in Busan's Haeundae District
Integration of photography, installation, music, and performance art

Organized by the Nuances collective, the exhibition features a diverse group of filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists who examine the emotional and social layers of Korea's modern cities. The collective includes primarily French artists, along with Belgian and Korean contributors who share a French-language background. The project aims to document disappearing spaces as they transition from current reality into future memory, treating modern ruins as archaeological sites.

The artworks span several mediums, including 3D film, photography, drawing, installation, and performance art. Key works include Sebastien Simon’s 3D documentary focusing on the gentrification of Haeundae Beach and the impact of high-rise development. By examining the intersection of tradition and accelerated modernity, the artists invite visitors to reflect on what remains as the environment continuously changes around them.
