Seoul Museum of Art’s Nanji Gallery site was a former water treatment facility. Located on a former rubbish dump, the ecological rejuvenation of the site made it an apt location to house my solo show, Power : Futurescape Simulator.
Gallery Halls 1 and 2 were converted from industrial silos which are cylindrical. The visitor is greeted with a game controller and allowed to roam the futuristic Cornish landscape, discovering segments of story and listening as they explore. Dry ice bursts into the atmosphere at key moments, immersing you into the landscape.
