Yisook Sohn

Este trabajo de Yisook Sohn es hermoso. Ella vive y trabaja en Seúl, Corea. No sé como los fotógrafos contemporáneos de Japón y Corea, logran la perfecta medida de belleza y elegancia, receta casi insuperable. Delicada. Es como contar una historia sin hacer ruido. En ésta historia, Madame C, Yisook nos muestra espacios donde la felicidad parece haber sido fabricada. Una ciudad olvidada, sin memoria ni tonos. Y aunque el panorama no suena alentador, las imágenes son bellas, como extraídas de una casa de muñecas.  

Most of these photographs were taken in Bundang, a boom town not far from Seoul, the capital of Korea. It seems to me that it is a forgotten city that buried all of its memories, without recollections, and with no flavors of life. Trying to perceive its interior space from a distance, I have found something not unique that we saw somewhere. It appears as a manipulated movie set and a place where happiness is made. In this place there is a slide between dissonance and consonance, which come from relationships between urban space and man. Y.S.
