Based on the Goseong-Sokcho big fire incident in 2019, a newspaper reporter ‘Jinwoo’ covered his father, a firefighter on leave, and
released the treatment and PTSD of Korean firefighters in a documentary form. Five projectors and two cameras were used, and the signal system and power were wirelessly supplied to create an environment where the structure could be freely moved and more immersed in the play. In the last of the play, screens were connected to one wall, creating a scene in which a huge barrier of fire drove
the audience to the wall, creating an environment where the audience seemed to be at a fire scene.

The projection design was carefully crafted considering the placement of screens in each scene. Moving screens were used to appear
fragmented at times and, at other times, to form a massive wall. This dynamic visual approach depicted the chaos and devastation
of a fire scene, as well as the disorientation and PTSD experienced by firefighters.All projectors were installed on mobile structures with wireless signal and power setups. This allowed for
projection mapping to be seamlessly performed even while the structures were in motion. To achieve this, a wireless signal
system was established, ensuring uninterrupted performance throughout the show.
