Arena Natural White 90 GSMMu is a publication project exploring the unique aesthetics and narrative of Korean shamanism. The title ‘Mu’ is a native Korean term that refers to Korean shamanism, and comes from honouring the distinct cultural and visual identity of Korean shamanistic practices. The book unfolds in five chapters: an introduction to Mu, spiritual illness, shamanic tools, protective spirits, and gut (ritual ceremony). Its format is based on the five-directional flag (obanggi), and this publication reflects the unique visual language of Korean shamanism, reinterpreted through a contemporary, editorial lens.
