A house that I live in by personally renovating an old and worn-out hanok for a month and a half! Is the ceiling still tilted and supported by bamboo? It is said that you have to have an open run to participate in Lee Seo-jae's house exhibition. A house is not a building, but a work of art and a universe. A house is a universe There is a neighborhood in Seoul called Seochon. This is the neighborhood where Chusa Kim Jeong-hui, Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, and poets Yun Dong-ju and Lee Sang lived, and people who observe 'etiquette for the house' live here. The bamboo in the yard that rises vigorously, the letter 'house' written under the eaves, the hand-made dishes, the wind and light that fill the house, and even the sounds of birds are all a house! That is why Lee Seo-jae's house is not just a building, but a work of art and life. Lee Seo-jae, who returned to Korea after leaving France where he had worked as a media installation artist for a long time, has been doing art activities and cultural planning rooted in our culture. He said that he decided to live in this neighborhood after seeing the dark landscape without a single streetlight while looking for a house right after returning home. For a month and a half, he slept in a sleeping bag and did everything from electrical wiring to painting with his own hands! The ceiling collapsed, so he had to dig out three boxes of dirt, but one side of the ceiling that was still collapsing is still supported by bamboo. Repairing the old house was hard work, but there was also an unexpected realization. Since he had been working as a media installation artist, most electrical wiring and carpentry were not difficult. He said, “If I focus on my main job, I can do house repairs well.” Lee Seo-jae drinks tea with people, holds concerts, and holds alleyway banquets in this old house that needs repairs every day, but is also a house that makes his heart feel at ease. He brews alcohol with acquaintances, invites curious people to give lectures, and sometimes just talks about life. Lee calls all of this work “house exhibition.” Lee Seo-jae says that a house is a universe and his own work. Let's meet Lee Seo-jae's 'universe', who says that living in an old house while comforting it is 'courtesy to the house'. ✔ Program name: Architectural Exploration House - A house that resembles me, a house that contains me ✔ Broadcast date: 2023.10.31 #TVViewingGolladunDocumentary #GolladunDocumentary #Documentary #Documentary #ArchitecturalExplorationHouse
