Inspired by the homes of ancestors, Sunghwan Lee, builds a new house
where he can carve his own memories.
What does home mean to us in this age when memory is volatile? What is
home to you?
Carving with Memories: IHYANGJEONG
is a documentary Quill VR animation based on the director's true
story. Ihyangjeong is the 300-year-old Korean traditional house
designated by the National Folklore Cultural Heritage, located in
Yangdong Folk Village, where it holds irreplaceable memories, and where the director spent
his youth.
DIRECTOR's NOTE I've
had a lot of problems with my house in recent years. Questions such as
'What is home?' constantly bothered me in my head. I was fascinated by
the VR 'space' I encountered at that time. I tried to express the
'space' I felt with my sense while being realistic. During the
production, I became convinced that this story was my problem and
universal concern and a big part of life for countless people. I hope
IHYANGJEONG can reach more people, form a consensus, and continue the
conversation together.
