Koo Sung Soo

Koo Sung Soo

April 10, 2010 · by yaohong · in Showcase

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…

Dayoung Kang

Dayoung Kang

December 24, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“swallow“) © Dayoung Kang, 2009 Dayoung Kang’s swallow series depicts the anonymity and lack of identity in modern society. Faceless characters inhabit the images; unable to communicate with others in the society. The hidden wounds we…

Siyeon Park

Siyeon Park

December 16, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Siyeon Park’s series reminds one of August Sander’s portraits of the People of the 20th Century, a typological look at school-going girls in Korea. The girls bear an eerie resemblance to each other, blank stares fixated on their faces. Su-yeon…

Kwon Ji hyun

Kwon Ji hyun

December 13, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Kwon Ji hyun: I’m so sorry. I’m just, just photographing in the messed up world. Andreas Heinrich: I’m just a small part of the whole. This will accompany me eternally. I will always only be a part of the whole….

Kim Ji-Hye

December 13, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

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“)…

Serry Park

Serry Park

December 13, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

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…

Showcase: Chung-Ang University

December 13, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Walter Bergmoser, a professor at Chung-Ang University’s Department of Photography, approached me sometime last month to showcase his students’ work which was shown at Bratislava’s Month of Photography. I will be putting up some of the works along the course…

Lee Jeong-lok

August 29, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“Mythical Landscape“) © Lee Jeong-lok, 2007 Painstakingly created, Lee Jeong-lok’s Mythical Landscape series turned ordinary scenes into works that intrigue and wonder. Growing up in the countryside, the artist has an intricate bond with nature and…

Young Kim – Suitman

August 20, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Quirky, very quirky. I spotted Young Kim’s book at the bookshop a while back and chuckled quietly to my amusement. TOP TO BOTTOM, from (“Suitman“) © Young Kim Photographed in the vein of costumed self-portraits like Tseng Kwong Chi, these…

Seung Woo Back

July 9, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Frankly speaking, looking at real/faux miniature macro images proliferating everywhere has been a rather tiring experience. Nothing new is presented and one easily gets lost in the technicalities. Enter Korean photographer Seung Woo Back’s Real World series. TOP TO BOTTOM,…

Jinnine Pak

Jinnine Pak

January 12, 2009 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Based in Brooklyn, young photographer Jinnine Pak’s series on women has got some interesting images [NSFW]. She focused her energies on creating unapologetic sentimental feminine images of women. In a world filled with Photoshopped women and plastic surgery, this real…

Hasisi Park

Hasisi Park

December 13, 2008 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Young, talented and irreverent, that’s how I would describe Hasisi Park, a Korean-born film-maker/photographer currently now residing in London. Her bio page is chock full of funny anecdotes which shows a side of her quirky personality. She describes a random…

Ye Rin Mok

Ye Rin Mok

November 20, 2008 · by yaohong · in Showcase

I first saw Ye Rink Mok’s work in Hard Candy years ago. I was wondering at the point of time how a pedophiliac photographer could produce such breathtaking images. But of course, that was just a movie plot and the…

Suyeon Yun

Suyeon Yun

May 24, 2008 · by yaohong · in Showcase

I found Suyeon Yun’s works whimsical on many levels. Some pictures work because of effective titling, while others contain visual puns that gives the images an extra edge (best seen large). Incomplete Journey, split into three chapters, brings the viewer…

Hong Sung-Do

Hong Sung-Do

January 21, 2008 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Korean artist Hong Sung-Do has some interesting works using mixed media and photographs. The following installation used plexiglas, aluminum and photographs to distort viewer’s perception of the images. Tourist, 2006 © Hong Sung-Do More of his works can be seen…

Yeondoo Jung

Yeondoo Jung

December 24, 2007 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Jeong-Mee Yoon

Jeong-Mee Yoon

December 18, 2007 · by yaohong · in Showcase

The Pink and Blue Project by Korean photographer, Jeong-Mee Yoon, shows boys and girls with a collection of their personal items. The color pink represents femininity whilst blue represents masculinity, and we see the children surrounded by items that typify…

Jhinryung Oh

Jhinryung Oh

December 7, 2007 · by yaohong · in Showcase

Dream of a Spider Women by Korean Jhinryung Oh is unsettling. Set against Nature as a backdrop, the mysterious masked figures frightens and bewilders the viewer at the same time. [all images from Dream of the Spider Women (2003-2006), ©…
