Night on Earth is an original program by FUTURA SEOUL, co-curated with Sua Hwang of HOLO Sight & Sound.
Night is not a time of pause or stillness, but a time when senses and worlds—unrevealed during the day—begin to emerge.
Night on Earth focuses on this quality of time, reopening the boundaries of what we think we know.
Here, a wide range of media and genres—including sound, performance, literature, and film—are explored, yet freed from the constraints of their conventional forms.
Instead, attention is placed on the very moment perception comes into being.
Through encounters with unfamiliar sensations and experiences, new artistic languages begin to emerge.
Night on Earth is open to all—anyone can participate, perceive, and experience.
