The City Stripped Back - Underground Spaces

Miru Kim guides us through her work and the ideas of a city's underground, abandoned, disused or historical sites. She finds the city's alternate identity that above ground dwellers are often oblivious to.

I find the works that inhabit collapsing, abandoned, decaying or pre-demolition sites the most beautiful. It makes me want to further explore unused and crumbling places around the city and it's poetic parallels to humanity and our constant flux between destruction and rebuilding, evolution and resurgence amidst the discarded and wasteful.
