He designs
the actual space within the view created through the camera lens to resemble an
abstract painting and records the process through taking pictures. Having
concentrated on the condition, coloring and texture of manufacturing materials
that we commonly have access to, such as lumber, iron plates, plastics and
styrofoam, he manipulates these materials within the actual space, as it would
be done with the touch of a brush or coloring, and designs a different space
utilizing the materials in a fashion unrelated to their original function or
use. After checking the display within the viewfinder, the actual image is then
manipulated once to make corrections. This process is then repeated until the
product is complete.
Born
in 1979, following his graduation from Suwon University’s Design
Studies and Sangmyung University’s Photography
Department, He completed the Meisterschuler course at the Academy of Fine Arts
Munster. Recently, after being selected as a featured artist in 2016 of Project
Space Sarubia, he held a personal exhibition in 2017 called <Broken
Edges>. Also, he participated in Project Space Babel’s <Babel II> project in 2017 in Berlin, Germany, during the
second part and conducted another personal exhibition simply using that of
light and sound. Currently, he is working on expanding the scope of photography
which is his major work.
Rather
than the expandability of each project, his perspective is grounded in the
process of making that expandability become visible at the actual exhibition
locations. The pictures play the role of serving as a crucial medium to express
that expandability. The personal exhibition scheduled to open at the Amado Art
Space/Lab in November 2018, is an extension of that very process.
