The Starry Night
Jongheon Bae

“How do we restructure the world? The city is like a giant universe. In the night sky of a city where stars disappeared, artificial stars replaced them, such as the stars in the Starbucks logo or the Milky Way that seems to be alive and breathing in Galaxy phones. It's not the sky, it's sparkling on the streets and in people’s palms. Our dream is that hope is only consumed on the side.”_Jongheon Bae

‘Star’ as a connecting thread, Jongheon Bae created a storytelling book, which wittingly portrays Bae’s views of the world and his inquisitive spirit. He asks, “How do we restructure the world?” and talks about transient consumptions of dreams and hopes through visual and symbolic flows. This book was made in collaboration with the artist as a part of ‘Datz Press Bookmaking Studio Program’.
