This work began by photographing the worn surfaces of old walls in Sinsa-dong and reconstructing them through textile. Different stitches and traces are layered repeatedly, leaving behind marks as if something has been covered over and then peeled away again. It becomes difficult to distinguish what was there originally, what was added later, or what has faded over time. Different moments coexist simultaneously within a single surface. Using various types of thread, the work recreates the rough and unstable texture of the wall’s surface. Threads that absorb light and threads that strongly reflect it shimmer together, causing the surface to shift continuously depending on the viewer’s position and the direction of the light. Certain areas emerge clearly, while others seem to recede and disappear. The old walls of Sinsa-dong are transformed into entirely new images. Yet at the same time, they endlessly preserve a sense of the past. Here, the wall is no longer simply a background, but a surface where time and sensation quietly accumulate.

EUM Hyunchul studied hotel management in Switzerland and later majored in film in Korea. After working across film, advertising, music videos, and as an MTV Creative Director, he developed his own distinct way of observing and interpreting images through these diverse experiences. For him, tufting is not simply a craft technique, but a way of transforming images and sensations into tangible surfaces. The repetitive hand movements, density, and subtle differences in texture become a method of constructing the surface like a painting, while at the same time revealing a strong sense of materiality similar to sculpture.
