In this exhibition two prominent Korean digital artists examine the “beauty of movement in silence” through photography and video. The exhibition examines the core principals hiding behind what we see and provides an opening to re-explore, in a contemporary light, the topic of whether the world that we are living in is a dream.
Youngho Kim has been at the forefront of fashion photography working as both a businessman and as an artist with his own unique style for the past 20 years.
Jisong Lee directed commercial films for almost thirty years until his retirement in 2000. His debut as a media artist came in the year 2012 with 1/75’. Since then he has participated in numerous exhibitions and film festivals.
