The Daegu Art Museum is hosting Wael Shawky’s first solo exhibition at a Korean public museum, focusing on mythology, history, and cultural identity.
The artist presents a unique artistic world that blends storytelling, film, and performance, integrating modern society with the traditional cultures of various regions.
This exhibition centers on the video work Love Story, which reinterprets Korean oral folktales and traditional fairy tales.
The piece combines traditional pansori and lion dancing to explore how the metaphysical concept of love manifests in the material world.
Through the exhibition, visitors will experience a grand narrative where diverse cultures and timelines converge.
