Black-and-white photography capturing the spirit of Korean culture
Korean photographer Gap-Chul Lee (born 1959) creates formidable, intense black-and-white photographs that search for the spirit of Korean culture. Lee approaches his subjects intuitively and directly, without prior aesthetic consideration; he prefers rough cropping to a tidy finish or meticulous compositions, drawing out a chaotic force in his images rather than a harmonious virtual world. Working in this way, Lee looks to capture often-suppressed impulses and a world of shamanism rooted deep in Korea’s collective unconscious. His arresting, mysterious photographs of street scenes and the natural world are marked by a feverish sense of vitality and spirituality.
This monograph includes Gap-Chul Lee's most iconic series, Conflict and Reaction (1990–2002) and Energy-Qi (2002–07), as well as his ongoing projects since 2008. More than half of the book covers the current projects, published here for the first time. The volume coincides with Gap-Chul Lee's 2019 exhibition at the Museum of Photography in Seoul. 黑白摄影捕捉到了韩国文化的精神韩国摄影师 Gap-Chul Lee (生于1959年)创造了令人敬畏的强烈的黑白照片,寻找韩国文化的精神。李直观而直接地接近他的主题,没有事先的审美考虑; 他喜欢粗糙的裁剪,而不是整洁的完成或者精心的构图,在他的图像中绘制出一种混乱的力量,而不是一个和谐的虚拟世界。通过这种方式,李希望捕捉经常被压抑的冲动,以及深深扎根于韩国集体潜意识的萨满教世界。他那些引人注目的、神秘的街景和自然世界的照片,以一种狂热的生命力和灵性感觉为特征。这部专著包括李最具代表性的系列作品《冲突与反应》(1990-2002)和《能量之气》(2002-07) ,以及他自2008年以来正在进行的项目。书中超过一半的内容涵盖了当前的项目,这是第一次在这里出版。这本书与2019年在首尔摄影博物馆举办的李(Gap-Chul Lee)展览相吻合。 基本信息 出版社 : Damiani; 第 Bilingual 版 (2019年11月26日) 语言 : 英语 精装 : 175页 ISBN-10 : 8862086865 ISBN-13 : 978-8862086868 商品重量 : 1.4 kilograms 尺寸 : 25.65 x 2.03 x 28.19 cm
