Jeju Narnia

Narnia means a virtual country created by a fantasy space.
The epic scenes created by Jeju Narnia's program box make people remember the space that appeared in reality as vivid stories overlap in real places.

As Jean Bodriyar says, perhaps hyper-reality is being used as a strategy to conceal reality in the real world. Just as Disneyland exists by imitating children to turn the childishness of adults into fantasies, we dream of strange daily lives in a virtual world created by excessive reality that is more real than reality.

Like Homo and Lance, humans have story instincts, the same space creates different events and stories according to different unconscious cognitive methods. And it is only possible to create my own story when one's own memories are buried to form an epic landscape, not a painterly landscape in which continuous scenes that pass by are intertwined.

Narnia's rooms create a place by stacking event boxes containing their own landscapes to form a single body, rather than divided pieces in the whole, forming a intertwined Scenery Collection. If these various event program boxes emphasize or weaken the reality of each characteristic and can control the atmosphere, these spaces will serve as selective equalizers that coordinate and create their own scenery to people like music.

Cultural entertainers who travel alone these days enjoy extremely private social sharing through one-off and accidental unfamiliar encounters. In other words, Nomad modern people want to become travelers of their own lives and establish daily relationships through private sharing between each and each other.

Narnia dreams of actual deviations of travelers through overlapping 'curious rooms'.
