The Interview: Sea Art Festival 2025

The 2025 Sea Art Festival, titled "Undercurrents: Waves Walking on the Water," is co-directed by Keumhwa Kim and Bernard Vienat, who were selected via an international open call. The biennial, established in 1987 as part of the Seoul Olympic Games, takes place on the beaches of Busan, Korea, alternating between Dadaepo Beach and Songdo. This year it returns to Dadaepo, focusing on outdoor installations and sculptures that engage with the natural landscape. The festival emphasizes collaboration with local communities and scientists, including paleontologists and bioacoustic researchers, to highlight invisible ecological and social structures.
