Bae Bien-U is undoubtedly now the most well-known living Korean photographer. For over forty years he has tirelessly photographed natural landscapes, particularly forests, in which the human figure never appears. The photographs he makes are of spectacular beauty, rigour and formal inventiveness that borrow from both the tradition of Eastern classical painting and the history of European and American art of the twentieth century. This first monograph published in France stresses the importance of his work and the uniqueness of his style: the surprising ways in which his shots are framed, perspective is deconstructed and the invention of a clean space to photograph.
