Park Seong-ho
a mushroom farm valley in rural South Korea
Park Seong-ho has spent decades in rural South Korea, working as a septic tank pumper in a valley renowned for its mushroom farms. From a young age, he's counted his steps obsessively, a habit rooted in a restless mind seeking control amid uncertainty. Acutely aware of time's passage, Seong-ho’s nights are filled with worries about breakdowns—of machines and of his body's endurance. Yet, he finds unexpected solace in the rhythmic patterns of his daily routines, which he transforms into his music, producing works that resonate with balance and reliability.
