"Moonland Real Estate" is the artist's first solo exhibition, held from December 9 to 29, 2018, on the second floor of the Post Office of Trans-Territoriality. Drawing on the fact that land on the moon is actually being sold, this exhibition poses questions about what humans can own and about dreams, and consists of photographs, installations, VR media, and audience-participatory performances.

*Moonland Real Estate* summons dreams floating somewhere between the virtual and the real. It is a place where 'happiness,' which seems so distant in reality, and possessions impossible on Earth are realized. There, things that were abandoned and the times when hope could be held are revived. In this way, *Moonland Real Estate* explores the relationship between ownership—represented by land—and dreams, as well as the ambivalent aspects of each, along the dotted lines between possibility and impossibility, and between the virtual and the real. Amidst the hazy memories of days of dreaming, a question now becomes clear: Just as the value of cryptocurrency exists only as numbers, how can the ownership of land on the moon, which exists only as documents, be recognized in reality? What does it actually mean to own something, and how can ownership truly be established?

(Excerpt from the preface of the Dalnara exhibition in Moon Yu-jin’s *Floating Dreams, Moonland Real Estate*)

“Buy Land on the Moon! What a wonderful unique gift for loved ones! You can now be a landowner of the moon!” - An excerpt from a publicity by Lunar Embassy

<Lunar Real Estate Project> is a project that purchases an acre of the moon from 'Lunar Embassy' that sells extraterrestrial properties including land on the moon, and then resells it to the audience at the exhibition. In compliance with the Embassy's resale conditions that approves that the owner of the purchased land can divide and resell it to less than ten buyers, Luna Real Estate opened an auction to sell the lunar land to the audience. Ten pieces of the Lunar Deed, each of which represents a tenth of an acre, were sold out during the auction performance at the opening of the exhibition. The ten pieces of land were transferred to the bidders with a sheet of the contract of deal, signed by the two parties.
