The most comprehensive survey of Bae Young-whan's work to date, this book was initiated from a process of compiling and translating articles about his work, beliefs and visions, many written by his friends and fellows. Kang Tae-hui, a professor at Korea National University of Arts, was asked to contribute an article encompassing Bae's multifarious oeuvre so far, expanding upon lesser known and overlooked elements of his art.

'This book intends to summarize Bae Young-whan's works and projects realized so far as well as to elaborate his thoughts, practices and a utopia he yearns to realize, his endeavor and belief to create a different world among the humble lives of those estranged from the society. In his work, Bae observes and deals with difficulties that a man suffers in Korean society and his struggles from a compassionate viewpoint unique to him.' - excerpt from foreword by Kim Sunjung
