Kyungwoo Chun, a German based Korean artist has been preoccupied with the fundamental question about man and the world, focusing on the notions of ‘relation’ and ‘time’. His works, beginning with portrait photography, stem from a peculiar interest in and concern for man, as well as the exploration of the true nature of photography. Chun experiments with form and medium, extending the width and depth of his artistic insight.
About the Artist
Kyungwoo Chun (b.1969 in Seoul) has for many years now been working on photography projects and initiating performances in which the audience is actively involved. Chun attained international recognition through his portraits, many of which have a characteristic blurriness in their movements-the consequence of extended exposure times. As diverse as the artistic approaches seem at a first glance, Chun considers both the performances and the photographs to be in equal measure “visible manifestations of that which is not visible.”
