SEOUL, July 12 (AJU PRESS) - The "22nd Century Relic Exhibition" by photographer MJ Kim is being held at the Dream Forest Art Center in Seoul from July 12 to August 11.

Under the theme "Traces and Environment to Leave for Future Generations," the exhibition showcases 38 photographs of disposable items and trash taken by MJ Kim since 2019, along with related videos. Actress Kim Hye-ja serves as an audio docent.

"In the past, digging in the ground yielded celadon and white porcelain, but future generations may only find garbage," MJ Kim says. "I want to leave a cleaner Earth for our children."
