The Forgotten series was created in the only preserved cemetery for Red Guards in China. This cemetery is located in a park in Chong-Qing. It is about 3,000 m2. There are 113 tombs of 500 Red Guards who died between 1967 and 1968 when a revolution broke out in Chong-Qing. They were members of the […]

I hate New York! From the day I stepped into the city, I’ve been feeling this way. This feeling has never left my mind, except for a few pleasant surprises. Good brownies or the dazzling lights of Broadway eased my loathness of New York. It’s as if I am repeatedly writing “I HATE NEW YORK” […]

History is composed of individuals and their activities, without which it degrades into abstract concepts, data, and rigid rules. History can only liven up and establish a connection with reality based on realistic individuals and their activities, which give it a realistic sense of life. Of course, the development of history is colorful with various […]

Hibiscus only exists in the Land of Hibiscus and the Land of Abundance. If you see an old ficus tree, you must have been in the Land of Abundance. The sound of a shepherd boy’s flute under the ficus tree seemed to linger around the old tree, leaves swaying in the breeze, glittering in the […]

I am interested in the relationship between the ordinary and the extraordinary. I photograph, draw, or film tableaus made of common materials and frame them in a way which references vast scales. I want to create images that are familiar and unfamiliar, grand and absurd, serious and comedic. My last few photographic series have been […]

My inspiration comes from my close relationship with nature. I don’t think man is the most superior of all creatures. Before nature, before disasters, before wars, we are just as small as bees and ants. We are just as vulnerable. Mankind is just a small part of the universe. Bees don’t know mathematics or physics, […]

I’m…a photographer and this summer I will be photographing the Upper Manhattan Series, from 96th up to 215th street. The reason I’m committing myself to capturing this area is that it’s going to change because of Columbia; it’s the dividing line that many people from Manhattan will not cross. It’s an area that is being […]

Travelers is compelling because its visual scenarios are consistently foreboding and disturbing. The artists have gutted the innocence of snow globes and their childlike panoramas and reinvented them as portals to dark fantasies, like dream or fairytale settings gone dangerously awry. Muñoz explains, “There are storylines that run through some of the globes that connect […]

Upon entering the group show Bóm at Galeria Janet Kurnatowski, the works of nine extraordinary artists reminded me of a poem that Robert Bly wrote in 1967. A line from the poem reads, “We could make a whole plain white with skulls in the moonlight!” It is poignant in depicting the horror and dysfunction of […]

The nuns in the Perpetual Adoration series have been praying on a rotating schedule, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, since 1878. I documented the nuns over 24 hours, photographing each shift change. There are 30 images in total. Each photograph in the series captures one moment in this unbroken chain of devotion, […]
