The banks of the Han River dyed by the sunset.

Large structures begin to glow.

As darkness sets in, a circular object with a warm yet rough texture comes to mind.

The moon, which only rose in the sky, settled on the banks of the Han River.

It is a public art work’Moonlight Nodeul’ installed in the dock of Nodeul Island in Seoul.

[나은종 / 네임리스 건축 대표 : (달은) 강강수월래 같은 유희적인 어떤 놀이문화의 매개체이기도 합니다. 그래서 달이라는 매개체를 통해서 서울의 어떤 풍경을 새롭게 감상할 수 있는 경관을 만든다는 생각이었고요.]

The circular structure with a diameter of 12 m has 45,000 holes.

The rays of light and the wind in and out form the surface of the moon.

This is a reopening project of Nodeul Island, where the boat route is reopened 50 years after the sandy beach disappeared due to the construction of the Gangbyeonbuk-ro in the 1970s.

[유연식 / 서울시 문화본부장 : 많은 시민들이 이곳 노들섬을 즐기고 또한 한강의 배도 이곳에 닿을 수 있게 해서 공공미술작품과 노들섬을 더욱 즐길 수 있도록 저희가 이번에 개장하게 되었습니다.]

This’Moonlight Cruise’ will go back and forth between Yeouido and Nodeul Island once a day, 5 days a week starting from the 6th of the following month.

By the 1st of next month, the city of Seoul is planning to hold an event to raise 120 wishes containing the message of the citizens’ New Year’s wishes.
