Listen "Photographer, Hong Lin"
Episode Synopsis
Based in Gosan-ri, Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju, photographer Hong Lin runs the "Slow Photo Studio," where she cherishes the kind of slowness photography can bring to a fast-moving life. She takes portraits of travelers and sends them by post, offering a moment of memory that returns just as it begins to fade. Originally trained in science and engineering, she settled in Jeju by following a path shaped by islands and images. Under the name "Siot Project," she has documented stories of islands, people, and love through writing, exhibitions, and letters. Together with her artist husband, she once held a family exhibition celebrating the birth of their first child. Since becoming a parent, she has continued to expand her creative and curatorial work. Recently, she opened a small gallery where she curates exhibitions, and she’s currently working on a long-term project of photographing and documenting her life with her child. Hong believes that with time, personal memories can become archives—and that they can eventually reach others. Through photography, she continues to make that belief visible.
