Background story
A few weeks ago a long walk along the Han River began at YangWhajin and lasted long into the night. YangWhajin is where the foreign missionary cemetery is located and one of the ports connected to Jemulpo Port in Incheon during the Joseon Dynasty. Possibly channeling its long history as a meeting point between people, this place became a departure point for a three person conversation that touched upon ideas of convenience, family, customs, and artistic practice. Another integral part was much goofiness, eating, walking and some drinking. This experience highlighted the multiple values of this type of exchange: devoid of intentionality Family Mart Social (0) was born.
Reflecting on Jooyoung Lee’s Family Mart Photo Series the idea of exploring the significance of walking together and socializing at a place like the Family Mart, always open because people’s schedules are all different and mean that they need something they can always rely on, by sharing the experience with others was imagined and is now proposed as Family Mart Social I.
