I photograph small parks located within and around living spaces in downtown Seoul.
I pay attention to the images as seen from a bird’s-eye view. While working, I focus not on relating special stories about them but on just presenting the spaces. I think that pictures presented that way can be a pathway to remind viewers of their own thoughts on familiar places—in particular, their thoughts or discussions regarding parks. The parks, as seen here, from a bird's-eye view, reflect characteristics of downtown areas and distorted realities. In addition, they also reveal fabricated Korean-style space and the stark realities of democracy in a more comic way.
These prints are created using archival pigment inks on 100% cotton rag paper with a luster finish.
Our quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the images, not the printed image itself. We do not alter the aspect ratio, nor do we crop or resize the artists' originals. All of our prints have a minimum border of .5 inches to allow for framing.
