THE COLLECTION
This Korean photographer takes the visual investigation of the human image as his central subject.
The instantaneous nature of the medium of photography captures and records evanescent facets of a superficial, shifting form which may reveal previously unseen elements of personality.
The tension here resides in the fact that the photographic images are easily manipulability and therefore can distort the originally revealed facet of personality. The main question which the artist poses is by how much and what extra qualities does the enhancement reveal about the original.
