‘Demolition Site’ of Jihyun Jung shows us the artist’s traces left in a demolition site in redevelop area. We think we have been used to those sites but at the same time in some way we haven’t. People both desire and feel uncomfortable about newly built cities, which are built only for political and economic benefits trampling on their past.
