A space filled with hot steam and the sound of water. The exposure and intimacy in a place where a single towel is all you have.
Based on bathing culture. An environment where being nude or semi-nude is natural. Slippery floors, hot water.
A large 24-hour sauna in the outskirts of Seoul. During the early morning hours, there are almost no customers, creating spaces that can be monopolized.
A vast public bathhouse where hot steam blurs the vision. Warm water flows across the tiled floor, and bubbles rise and pop in the large bathtub. 2 a.m., after the last guest leaves, it becomes a space for just the two of them.
The dark and warm sleep chamber, where the floor heating warms the body. Only the breathing sounds of the people lying between the low partitions can be heard. Under the blankets, nothing can be seen no matter what happens.
A high-temperature sauna where the scent of pine resin wafts from the cedar walls. The 95-degree heat scorches the skin red, and sweat streams down the entire body. In the narrow space, just the two of us, sitting side by side on the wooden bench, our shoulders touch.
