Since his artwork was in the spotlight when he held his solo exhibition at the New Art Gallery Walsall London in 2006, his works have been introduced at international photo festivals and museum/gallery exhibitions at home and abroad, including the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Kumho Museum of Art, Seou Museum of Art, Lianzhou International Photo Festival, Daegu Photo Biennale, FOTOFO Bratislava Photo Festival and so on.
Hyung-Geun Park is has been active as an artist both at home and abroad by working on series of photographic works, such as Untitled and Tenseless, which create surreal and ambiguous narratives by revealing the boundaries between reality and directing, real and fake, nature and city, and primitive and civilized with vibrant colors and images in a frame.
Park was selected to participate in the 2014 Les Résidences de PHOTOQUAI, in which Musée du Quai Branly in Paris selects and supports artists every year. As part of the program, he worked on Doomangang/Tumen Project, which is to be showcased at the museum this year.
