Media Art ‘ Wild Flower ’
What do you think this girl is looking at?
xpl has presented a media art piece titled "Wildflowers" at the Haemi International Pilgrimage Site's Digital History Experience Center.
The Haemi International Pilgrimage Site is renowned not only in Korea but also internationally for its significant heritage. During the long period of persecution in Korean Catholic history, many people were martyred. Haemi, in particular, was a place that experienced overwhelming oppression compared to other martyr sites.

The girl observing this piece might be a martyr from that time or someone like you today. xpl has explored this theme through "Wildflowers," aiming to offer a small comfort to those who lived 300 years ago. Through the "Wildflowers" that provided solace and unwavering faith in the vast fields of that era, we hope you can experience these sentiments through the eyes of the girl at the Haemi International Pilgrimage Site.

여러분은 이 소녀가 무엇을 보고 있다고 생각하시나요?
xpl은 해미 국제성지 디지털 역사 체험관에서 ' 야생화 '라는 제목의 미디어아트를 선보였습니다.
해미 국제성지는 국내 뿐 아니라 국제적으로도 굉장한 헤리티지를 가지고 있는 곳입니다. 국내 천주교 역사에서 기나긴 박해의 기간동안 순교한 사람이 굉장히 많았습니다. 그리고 해미는 타 순교지보다 압도적인 탄압을 받았던 곳이구요.

이 작품을 보고 있는 소녀는 그 시절의 순교자일 수도, 현재의 여러분일 수도 있습니다. xpl은 300년전 사람들에게 작은 위로가 되었을 하나의 소재로 ' 야생화 '를 통해 풀어내었습니다. 그 시절 넓은 들판에서 사람들의 위안, 그리고 꺾이지 않은 믿음을 주었던 ' 야생화 '를 해미 국제성지에서 소녀의 눈을 통해 느껴보시길 바랍니다.
