In Kimsooja’s video works, views of active volcanos in Guatemala or glaciers in Greenland, the viewer is invited to connect human and natural life by contemplating the principles of nature in the video.

In Moon Kyungwon’s park project, < Promise Park Seoul > (2021) is presented as a place to share thoughts and values, opening up the possibility of a meeting based on nature.
