Jeonju
South Korea
Sep 21 — Sep 27
Jeonju is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've been caught doing something private — eating alone at a pojangmacha, standing too long in front of someone's gate. She came here because it's slow in a way that Kyoto is no longer slow, because the hanok rooflines do something to the late afternoon light she wanted to verify with her own eyes.
