I’m surprised that I’ve not come across this Korean photographer but Koo Sung Soo’s Magical Reality really caught my eye. The series consists of images filled with brightly colored manmade “monuments” – fake Statues of Liberty, a karaoke room (aptly named False Orchestra), odd trees and spaces that seem to be from pages of a [...]
TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“November“) © Gloria Chung I know it’s only the end of January but Gloria Chung’s November series made me think a little about how time flies.

(silent and loneliness) world“) © Noriko Ishihara, 2009 Highly abstruse, the images’ [...]
Kim Ji-Hye approached a subject that affects roughly half the human population – the menstrual cycle. She approached individuals who shared with her their greatest concerns/peeves about it and transformed these stories into caricatures. TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“Menstrual Cycle“) © Kim Ji-Hye, 2009 For an act as natural as breathing, the topic remains mostly [...]
Serry Park’s series, XO pale white, delineates the meaning of objects in our daily lives. A minimalist piece of work, the simplicity of the images hides the amount of effort placed in creating the set. TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“XO pale white“) © Serry Park, 2009 From her statement: I cannot open the window, nor [...]
