Once alive with children’s laughter, the school fell silent, drifting into the quiet hush of time. 

Today, it awakens as the Changmun Art Center, a vibrant canvas where art and memory breathe together. 

The invitational exhibition by Kim Chae-woong and Ham Sun-joo is more than a display—it is a resurrection of time and sentiment, a reclamation of forgotten voices. 

Here, vanished laughter and lost hours find form, creating a space where past and present collide in quiet resonance. 

Kim Chae-woong and Ham Sun-joo are not only collaborators but a couple and parents of twins.

 Parenthood shapes their vision, offering a keen, empathetic lens on contemporary Korean life. 

Their approaches differ, yet converge at a poignant intersection: the absence of children, and the questions this void poses to society and time.

 Together, they craft an experiential space, inviting viewers to confront life, relationships, and the essence of being. Kim Chae-woong’s works journey through the alleys, games, and daily rhythms of the 1970s and 1980s, evoking communal memory and human connection. 

The laughing, playing children transcend their era, symbols of a lost rhythm of togetherness. His work does not linger in nostalgia; it challenges today’s fragmented, isolated society, rekindling warmth and the pulse of shared life. 

Ham Sun-joo, in contrast, explores life, existence, and the female body, probing the roots of human being.

 Her images of conception and birth capture the mystery and quiet wonder of life, prompting reflection on dignity, relationships, and the social frameworks that nurture life. 

Her work becomes a metaphor for family, care, and the protective embrace of community. 

Though their themes diverge, both meet at the question of children’s absence.

 The exhibition becomes a meditation on lost time, vanished connections, and the warmth of community. "Where have all the children gone?"

 This is no simple question of nostalgia. 

It is a reflection on the vanishing warmth of our communities and the fragile thread of our shared future. 

The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the value of connection, family, and communal life, and inspires hope that one day, laughter will once again fill these halls—and that art will spark its return.
