The act of taking a portrait photograph is a historical event that captures the flow of the past and present in the image. Since the mid-1990s I have been searching for new questions and methodological alternatives through doubts about the perceptions that have been traditionally and absolutely regarded in photography history. One of them relates to the role of the photographer and the person to be photographed', which is the subject of shooting in portrait photography, and the other that follows is related to the perception of time contained in the picture, the uniqueness of time', Experimental attempts have been made to implement works through technical experiments. The strong skepticism resulting from the continuous experience of the inconsistency between the photograph and the person created the inevitability of pursuing new possibilities behind the scenes while still respecting the valid traditional perception in many cases and denying it. This article contains some descriptions of the background and production process of representative experimental series based on the awareness of the problem of photography that began to be intensively dealt with in the mid-1990s. This reveals that this is not an article about the artist's own analysis or interpretation of the work.

행위로서의 사진과 퍼포먼스 - reMEMBERed, Versus 시리즈를 중심으로 -

천경우 ( Kyungwoo Chun ) 한국사진학회 2021 AURA Vol.- No.47

This thesis is a study on the possibility of extension of photography from the process of taking portraits, which aims to result in a photographic image, to a performance art in which the process itself becomes the center of the work. The background and development process of the work are centered on the photographic series reMEMBERed (2002), Pseudonym (2004), and Versus (2007), as well as the performance works 18x1Minute (2004) and Versus (2007-2012) derived from photographic works. In addition, noteworthy parts of the contents that various theorists have described about the artist's work are extracted and compared with the author's thoughts. Based on this, various examples of a performance work, which is a work as a work itself and ‘photography as a holistic experience of space and time’, is presented along with the image of the work, and through this, the possibility of new recognition of the photographic medium is discussed.

참여적 자화상으로서의 인물사진 : Being a Queen, Face of Face 시리즈를 중심으로

The requirements for portrait photography are premised on the fact that the photographer and the subject are together in one space. In other words, a photographic image is formed as a single overall result through small and large interactions and empathy in space and time where the photographer and the subject person coexist. The two photographic series to be introduced in this article both have the structure of the process of acting (performance) and the image as their result. And the process of making a photo is not aimed at capturing any moment or finding and recording the characteristics of a person, and the conditions for who the subject will be are given regardless of their appearance. Rather, it is made up of voluntary ‘choice’ and ‘participation’ by those who want to understand and participate in the conditions given by the artist, and as a result of their act of participation, the characters ultimately experience the way they see themselves. The author sees these processes and technical conditions as the meaning of ‘self-portrait as participation’. In this paper, Korean and foreign theorists introduced and interpreted the process from the conception stage to the production process and exhibition in Europe and Korea of the project Being a Queen (2007/2009) realized in Denmark and Face of Face (2016) produced in Korea. I would like to present the expanded possibilities of photographic expression of how people in front of the camera look at themselves, along with examples of their perspectives, as well as the participatory act, the perception of time in it, and how the people in front of the camera view themselves.

This study explores the process of incorporating of object on the photography and expressing the concept of physical properties of object into artworks which I have made through previous works and practices with artistic way. Based on the general characteristics of natural stone, the work was made as a medium of photography. Since then, the concept of physical properties has been dealt with in depth through the process of expressing three-dimensional properties on two-dimensional space. < Low, Quickdraw >(2019) work attempts to reproduce the physical characteristics of stones as visual image. In this work, I had focused beyond making photographs mechanically through the artist's involvement that focused on reconstructing the fantasy into photographs. As an extended concept of photographic media, I made realistic fantasy through visual image into images using with physical properties and spatiality expressed in photographs. In this study, the objects of reality are reproduced through the physical properties of stones, at the same time original property that do not converted into the language of photography properly. In this study, I critically examine the characteristics of traditional photography that I have learned so far and explore the changes in contemporary photography.

빛과 시간에 대한 사진적 연구 - 사진작품 < Foresta > 연작을 중심으로 -

The series of the < Foresta > is a photograph work by the writer combining photographs and installation including the < Foresta - quasi a due > and < Foresta - reverse >. This research aims to study the notions of light and time prompted in the process of working on the < Foresta > series which takes a dark forest of an environment of specific light conditions as a subject matter. The unique photographing method of emitting the large amount of low light running behind the tripod as leaving the shutter open was required in order to realize minutely scattering lights in the dark forest. This act of moving and shooting light is a basic element of the works, leading to the questions as to the light and time. A series of < Foresta > an outcome of the concern and experiment regarding the medium of photography. The < Foresta - reverse > and < Foresta - quasi a due > attempted to work with different media are also drawn from the processes of researching the light and time. Through this research, it is expected to see the new examination that the photography with a great diversity of potentiality will acquire not only as a contemporary art but also as a theory of photography.

This essay aims to propose the possibilities that photobook can be developed as an experimental space as well as a genre of art. The concept is based on an interview with Gerhard Steidl. According to Gerhard Steidl, “A photo book is like building a building.“ Based on research and case studies, this paper offered the exhibition. Research on them was a basic step to broaden its argument as it consisted of a comprehensive notion. Also, we aimed to focus on the issue by visualizing the structural aspects of photobooks in an exhibition based on the case study. The exhibition visualizes with real-life exhibitions in mind built. An overview and contents of the exhibition and the space planning and the flow planning between photobooks were considered. Showing the process of analyzing the features of the book when it comes to displaying, in comparison to the usual display of the work hanging on the wall. Photobooks are a new medium that challenges general book media, and the attempt to examine features through their structural approach is going to surely be an opportunity to gain a broad understanding of photobooks. Throughout these studies, suggestions for an expanded interpretation of photobooks are what are meant to be noted.
