have transformed a historic Gahoe-dong hanok into an art installation.

KOREA -- Korea’s traditional courtyard homes, called hanok, have inspired contemporary artists in the past. Now, two artists have transformed a hanok into art. “House Lives With Time” is a hanok turned art installation by South Korean designer Kim Young-seok and Japanese contemporary artist Tatsuo Miyajima. Located in Seoul’s Gahoe-dong district, the work mixes Mr. Kim’s hanbok – traditional Korean clothing– with Mr. Miyajima’s art, which explores Buddhist concepts of reincarnation using LED technology.
