Crispy (2025)
The Series «Crispy» reflects my confession that the most honest way to address the truth-like substance is not to seek it externally in photography, but to reveal and narrate the shell from both the front and back of the work. Through this exhibition, I seek to share a direct yet delicate narrative about the shell like photo image—something light and thin, crinkling and fragile, easily crushed or crumpled—with the audience.
Just After Christmas (2019)
This series results from concerns about and interests in the relativity of time and uncertainty of memories. The scenes picture Christmas parties in a small Norwegian town which seem to be on an extended pause. Photographs taken between January and March in 2019 of winter silence and the stillness were printed and staged together with the out-of-date party debris for one year, or until the
next Christmas season began. The series was presented in a solo exhibition along with video and installation works.
Second-hand Drawings (2020-2021)
This work is a series in homage of “Hang Up” by German-born American sculptor, Eva Hesse (1936–1970), and is a project for publication. It is based on photographic images that were partially captured from inside and outside the buildings in various places including deteriorating walls, floors, and ceilings. The new structures read from the photographic images are reconstructed into completely different abstract forms of plane- and three-dimensional drawings by the use of various wires, paintings, and architectural model materials.
Warm Blue Waves (2018)
This unravels my experience from the ambiguous position of being a long-term traveler and resident, staying in Busan for about five months, with the scenery and objects of Busan. While «Fantasy in Everyday Life(2017)» was intended to reconstruct the clichéd everyday landscape from a different perspective, «Warm Blue Waves» was created as a work to discover and reconstruct everyday life in an extraordinary landscape.
Untitled (2020)
This was created by printing the purchased film onto paper and glass plates, then rearranging the glass fragments on top of the printed image before photographing it again.
Architecture of Day (2023)
낮의 건축술
낮의 건축술
This set is a part of my solo exhibition «The Architecture of Night and Day», 2023.
Architecture of Night (2023)
밤의 건축술
밤의 건축술
Ten years ago, while walking down the street, I came across a space whose interior had been exposed due to construction. I photographed that space, and ten years later, I reconstructed it in a new location—this time allowing the passage of time and the unique context of the new site to transform its spatial identity.

Layeredly, Serenely, Bustlingly (2021)
켜켜이, 유유히, 부산스럽게
켜켜이, 유유히, 부산스럽게
The work was created in a long-neglected building in the old downtown of Ulsan by photographing a poster found in a room on the 3rd floor, along with several objects that hint at the passage of time, and scenes outside the room, viewed through windows, flowing at different speeds. Then, these elements were rearranged in the room.
The work was installed so that different perspectives, multiple temporal layers, and the boundaries between inside and outside collide and intersect within a single space.
Almost Fitting (2021)
This was installed on the roof of an abandoned building in the old downtown of Ulsan. Transparent sheets printed with photographs of the scenery around the rooftop were cut and pasted onto glass panes installed at an appropriate location on the site.
The transparency of the glass reveals objects placed above and below it at the same time, so fragments of photographs and real objects are combined in the glass in a new way.
Plant’s Plan 02 (2022)
«Plant's Plan» series captures the forms of wild plants growing in the crevices of buildings and concrete structures. Urban wild plants(weeds) quietly break through meticulously designed urban and architectural plans that exist solely for human life, revealing their resilience.
«Plant's Plan 02» was taken from the surrounding landscape of the Art Space building and brought into its interior. It was cropped to fit the dimensions of the building's wall, allowing it to resonate with other architectural elements such as the columns and stair structures.

Just After Christmas 01, 02 (2019)
In these two films, the same texts and video clips are shown in a different order, eventually leading to a different ending. Every piece of footage was taken with a static, fixed frame like a photograph. The texts seen in the film are fragments of my private memos in that time. - to take the features of the photograph that captures only a specific part of continuous-time. Filmed in Norway, Sweden.
