THE GAME OF
MEDELLIN '메데인의 게임'
Before coming to Medellin I wanted to draw what I imagined it would be without knowing anything
about the place. After living here for over a month, I’ve tried to take my imaged Medellin and combine
it with the reality. I explored the city every day and kept records of what I experienced , taking photos,
writing and even saving my ice cream receipts. I found it interesting that my experiences were always
different, even when I went back to the same places. I wanted my game to illustrate that life in the city
can be unpredictable, it all depends on how the dice is rolled. We can all begin at the same start line and
end up in totally different places. Making this game has helped me to process my time here in Medellin.
I hope audiences can enjoy playing and maybe understand a little of how I s ee the Medellin in both the
ideal and the reality. Some can start the game but some just can see others playing. I think this is a fear
of bumping into the real world and a curiosity about the ideal but there is a hesitation that is difficult to
get close to the ideal. Let’s play!
