DEOKSUGUNG PALACE

IN BRIEF

Christie Provides Projection for Art Exhibition Showcasing History of Deoksugung Palace

Christie is providing projection support for a contemporary art exhibition that recounts the history of Deoksugung Palace, one of the five royal palaces situated in central Seoul, through its beautifully manicured gardens. Titled Deoksugung Project 2021: Garden of Imagination, it is inspired by the late Joseon Dynasty’s culture of ‘uiwon’, meaning ‘a garden of one’s mind’. Christie supplied a D13WU-HS 1DLP laser projector for a digital art installation named Dream Journey to a Garden in Hamnyeongjeon, the living and sleeping quarters of King Gojong – the last ruling monarch of the Joseon Dynasty. The displayed content was created by animator Yong-bae Lee in collaboration with Jong-sang Sung, a landscape architect, to depict picturesque garden scenery that King Gojong had wished to enjoy while living an isolated life in Hamnyeongjeon until his death in 1919. The D13WU-HS projector was installed by Christie’s local partner, SNC Alliance Co., Ltd, which was also involved in the 2021 Delight Seoul exhibition. Thanks to Christie’s BoldColor Technology and HD resolution, the D13WU-HS fulfilled the requirements of the artists, who had placed much emphasis on brightness and colour accuracy of the projected visuals.
