“Located in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, Sunhyewon is a site steeped in the history and tradition of SK Group, recently reopening as the group’s new research institute. To introduce this special place to the public and expand its role as a cultural platform, PODO museum has launched a new cultural program, “Sunhyewon Art Project 1.0.” The inaugural project presents an exhibition by Kimsooja — a world-renowned artist representing Korea.

This exhibition marks a special moment where the historical depth of Sunhyewon meets Kimsooja’s artistic universe, offering visitors a contemplative experience that transcends time and space. The central work, To Breathe—Sunhyewon, 2025, is a site-specific installation that transforms Gyeongheunggak, a traditional Hanok building that retains the dignity of Korean architecture, into a whole piece of contemporary art. By covering the floor with mirrors, Kimsooja reflects the architecture, light, and viewers, dissolving boundaries between built structure and individual. This immersive space reinterprets the stillness of Hanok into a sensorial experience where the past and the present, the space and being intersect. Even the seemingly fixed architecture begins to shift and flow as it blends with ephemeral light and reflections.

Notably, this is the first time Kimsooja’s To Breathe series has been installed within a traditional Hanok structure, adding symbolic significance to the juxtaposition between the work and the historic context of Kyongheunggak. As suggested by the title, To Breathe, the piece captures the subtle movement of light and air within the tranquil beauty of the Hanok, drawing the viewer’s breath and footsteps into the artwork itself.”
