[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan Museum of Art will hold the third exhibition at XR Lab, a dedicated video art gallery. The exhibition runs from October 20 to February 19 of next year.


The exhibition titled "X Miindo" reinterprets the genre paintings of Joseon Dynasty painter Hyewon (蕙園) Shin Yunbok into immersive media videos. The production of the work was supported by Ulsan Museum of Art.


The overall direction was led by world-renowned director Yang Jeong-ung, who created the work inspired by Shin Yunbok’s "Miindo." He deeply contemplated the interaction between Joseon Dynasty paintings and cutting-edge extended reality technology used in XR Lab, and realized it through collaboration with artists and technology experts from various fields.


Visual effects expert Shin Ji-ho, photographer Kim Yong-ho, hanbok designer Kim Young-jin, and makeup artist Lee Kyung-min participated in the joint production, creating classical character images through professional photography and leading the verification of traditional costumes and objects. The work visualized with advanced technology invites viewers to the Joseon era.


The video expanded across the front, left, right, and floor of XR Lab creates the illusion of being in the heart of Hanyang during the Joseon Dynasty. The works borrowing from Shin Yunbok’s representative genre paintings such as "Dano Pungjeong," "Wolha Jeongin," and "Wolya Milhoe" showcase the romantic elegance of Joseon while vividly conveying the situations and emotions so that modern viewers can also feel them.



Director Yang Jeong-ung said, “We created an experimental video where actors reenact Shin Yunbok’s famous paintings known to every Korean, expanding the paintings from two-dimensional space to three-dimensional space and trying to illuminate the world behind them. I hope people encounter unique Joseon paintings through various perspectives and vivid experiences.”
