Listen "Photographer, Park Geun-joo"
Episode Synopsis
Since relocating to Jeju Island in 2017, Park Geun-joo has been capturing the essence of Jeju’s buildings through his photography. He reimagines these structures with colors and shapes, creating images that resemble paintings. His work explores the boundary between reality and idealism, encouraging viewers to reflect on this interplay. Buildings that we often pass by unnoticed, unaware of their presence, are reborn as works of art through his lens. His photography invites people to closely observe and appreciate the details of everyday life. Park operates a studio in the small village of Jongdal-ri in Jeju City, where he is also working on a series titled “Romantic Melancholy”—a collection of photographs capturing the back appearance of local residents.
