The Narrative Map of Old Seongam is a part of The Hwanggeumsan Project which is an ARKO public art demonstration project. It was created based on The Guide Map of Daebudo’s Old Story made by Seon-chul Kim, the current president of the Marine Ecosystem Cultural Tour Guide Association, and was supported with his supervision, advice, and site visits. Multiple site visits to Daebudo Island (Daebudo) and discussions were held and advice from the local elderly residents who supported this project was included in the process. Although there were various historical themes around Daebudo, which underwent dramatic changes due to the Shihwa tide embankment and reclamation, they were still too broad to come up with a quality map. So I narrowed down the locations to Buldo Island, Tando Island, and Seongamdo Island (Seongamdo) where Gyeonggi Creation Center is located. The old appearance of the area, the tales orally handed down, and the name of the places, are realized as an image on the map. To help viewers understand the way in which people in Seongamdo used to live, I juxtaposed figures on the map in a simple way. I docu­mented Seongamdo’s old geography and the people’s way of living which are being forgotten for tourists as well as the residents of the island to easily understand the local history and the name of the places. The work was produced in the form of a signboard and a catalog so that more people can have access to the story of Seongamdo.
