In Seoul’s rapidly changing landscape, subjective taste and personal ways of relating to space are increasingly displaced by gentrification, commercial development, and algorithm-driven trends. As cafés and cultural venues give way to replicable “hot spots,” what disappears is not just physical space, but the right to move through the city with one’s own rhythm and values.

<Seoul Azit> reclaims the city through a quiet, participatory counter-practice. The project invites individuals to map their own “hideout places” — modest, value-driven sites of wellness, coexistence, and everyday retreat — using masking tape as a speculative mapping tool. This tactile gesture becomes a form of spatial resistance, allowing participants to reassert agency over the environments they inhabit. As tools of both personal reflection and collective documentation, they offer a subtle alternative to dominant modes of urban consumption.
