This series photographed the landscapes observed by Taehyen Kang at weekly intervals for about five years from 2018mid to 2023early.
In the beginning, the role of the artist was simply a recorder of the landscape, as if leaving a family picture, but the role of a tenacious observer by continuously repeating the act of recording is gradually changed to that of a watcher, sensing subtle changes in the landscape. In the process, the landscape becomes a kind of possession for the artist because it can only be seen in an extremely private place called home.
Taehyen Kang records a specific space that is both public and private at the same time, like a CCTV that monitors it 24 hours a day, and archives changes that cannot be immediately seen with the naked eye.

이 시리즈는 작가가 관찰한 풍경을 2018년부터 현재까지 약 5년간 일주일 간격으로 기록한 것이다.
초반에 작가의 역할은 가족사진을 남기듯 단순히 풍경을 기록하는 자였지만, 기록 행위를 지속적으로 반복하며 집요한 관찰자의 역할로, 점차 풍경 속의 미묘한 변화를 감지하며 감시자 역할로 전환된다. 그 과정에서 지극히 사적인, 집이라는 장소에서만 볼 수 있다는 이유로 작가에게 해당 풍경은 일종의 소유물이 된다.
작가는 공적인 장소이면서 동시에 사적인 의미가 강하게 결합된 특정 공간을 24시간 감시하고 있는 CCTV처럼 기록하고, 육안으로 바로 알 수 없는 변화를 아카이브한다.
