Artist Note
The theme of this work is “on & between,” with the subtitle “Strolling through the Palace.” It is an invocation of my childhood memories and cherished recollections, while simultaneously serving as a realization of those memories in the present.
Through multiple exposure photography, I came to view the palace from a fresh perspective. For a “Neoteny” who seeks to capture photographs driven by a nostalgia for things of the past, the advancement of photographic technology is nothing short of a blessing.
As I strolled through the palace, the elements that caught my eye included the palace walls, buildings, the graceful lines of tile roofs, dancheong (traditional decorative coloring), stone sculptures, gardens, ponds, and the Irworobongdo (Painting of the Sun, Moon, and Five Peaks). Among them, the sweeping lines of the tile roofs particularly captivated me, and I utilized the multiple-exposure technique as a way to emphasize and make them stand out.
Driven by a growing ambition, I have continued my work with the variations of these forms in mind. Moreover, I find it deeply intriguing to gently draw out and give visual form to the histories and stories deeply embedded in every corner of the palace, one by one.
It is my sincere hope that this work helps widely share the timeless beauty of Korea’s palaces with the world.
