He correlates the experience of looking through a window with contemplation and meditation, a way of observing the passage of time. Sometimes the photographs are a reflection of what might be outside, other times you see what the window allows you to see. Through large gelatin-toned silver prints, his windows are transformed by the elements, the cityscape outside often becoming indistinct and blurred. He exposes the images onto the photographic paper after casting rice and states, “Korean clairvoyants throw rice to foresee the future, yet one must understand the past and present. I throw rice onto the photographic paper with the same approach. All of us are trying to predict what will happen in an unpredictable world. It is an attempt to find hope.” Website: |
