      This was the most precise among the sundials made during the Joseon Period but was the smallest; it was carried on the body and used for measuring time. It showed that it had Seoul’s latitude as the standard. The name of the manufacturer (Kang Yoon) and the year of manufacture (1870) are engraved on it, making it academically valuable as a sundial. The time can be determined by the shadow line indicated by the triangle along the hour and bar (time line) below. From the right, the interval is drawn differently depending on the inclination of the sun shadow from dawn (5:00-7:00 AM) to sunset (5:00-7:00 PM). You can read the time in 15-minute increments by placing dots at each angle (15-minute intervals). The compass is the opposite of the current magnetic north compass. Here, the characters engraved on the south signify true north with a azimuth of 0˚, and 15˚ in clockwise order represents a total of 24 directions. This sundial is a scientific relic that shows the excellence of sundial manufacturing technology in the late Joseon Dynasty.

      Artist Biography

      Kang Seung-yoon: Echoes of Memory and Minimalism

      Kang Seung-yoon, also known as Seungyoon or Yoon, is a Korean artist whose work delves into themes of remembrance, loss, and quiet contemplation. Born in Busan in 1994, his artistic journey began amidst the vibrant cultural landscape of South Korea, shaping his distinctive visual language—characterized by striking simplicity and profound emotional resonance. While primarily recognized as a singer-songwriter and leader of the boy band Winner, Kang’s creative pursuits extend far beyond the stage, establishing him as a multifaceted talent deeply invested in exploring complex ideas through artistic expression.
      • Early Influences: Kang Seung-yoon's formative years were marked by exposure to Korean literature and art, fostering an appreciation for subtle narratives and evocative imagery. Notably, he cites Yoon Dongju’s poetry as a significant inspiration—a poet whose melancholic verses grapple with themes of exile and longing, mirroring the artist’s own introspective approach.
      • The Superstar K2 Experience: Kang's breakthrough arrived in 2010 through the popular Korean singing competition Superstar K2. This platform propelled him into the spotlight, introducing his musical talent to a wider audience and solidifying his commitment to pursuing artistic endeavors alongside his music career.
      • YG Entertainment & Winner Formation: Following his success on Superstar K2, Kang signed with YG Entertainment in 2011, initiating his collaboration with producer Teddy Park—a partnership that would ultimately lead to the formation of Winner. This group became a cornerstone of Korean pop culture, showcasing Kang’s leadership qualities and furthering his artistic development.
      Kang Seung-yoon's artistic style is defined by an unwavering dedication to minimalism. He frequently employs monochrome prints and drawings—often referencing landscapes or architectural structures—to convey powerful emotions without resorting to overt ornamentation. This deliberate restraint serves as a conduit for conveying profound reflections on time, place, and human experience. His pieces resonate with viewers through their quiet beauty and subtle symbolism, inviting contemplation about the passage of time and the importance of preserving memory.
      • Notable Works: Among his most acclaimed creations is “Portable Plane Sundial,” a striking installation that utilizes photographic prints to explore the concept of stillness amidst urban environments. The artwork’s muted palette and geometric composition evoke a sense of melancholy and remembrance—a deliberate homage to Tseng Kwong Chi, a Taiwanese artist whose work similarly investigates themes of solitude and cultural identity.
      • Acting Roles & Television Appearances: Kang has expanded his artistic horizons into acting, securing roles in television series such as “Prison Playbook,” “Kairos,” and “Grid.” His performance in “Prison Playbook” garnered critical acclaim and earned him the ‘Best Male Actor’ award at the K-Web Fest Awards—demonstrating his versatility as an entertainer and furthering his artistic exploration.
      • The Mask Singer Phenomenon: Perhaps Kang's most memorable achievement came during MBC’s “King of Mask Singer,” where he captivated audiences with his charismatic stage persona and remarkable vocal abilities. Achieving six consecutive wins—a record-breaking feat—solidified his status as a cultural icon and cemented his legacy as one of Korea’s foremost performers.
      Kang Seung-yoon's contribution to Korean art extends beyond individual creations; he embodies the spirit of contemporary artistic inquiry—a commitment to exploring complex emotions through understated visual language. His work stands as a testament to the enduring power of simplicity and remembrance, inviting viewers to engage in thoughtful reflection on the human condition. He continues to inspire aspiring artists with his dedication to craft and his unwavering pursuit of artistic excellence.
