One BLack Apart
A documentary project applying observational anthropology to record the redevelopment of Seoul’s Inwang Apartment complex. Reframing urban architecture not merely as a backdrop, but as a living system accumulating time, policy, and human displacement, this series captures the temporal layers of vanishing spaces.
Serving as an urban archive that preserves the human cost of rapid modernization, the project received a TIFA Honorable Mention.
