“Korean photography has developed through a dynamic balance between documentation and artistic expression, serving as both a means of recording reality and a tool for creative interpretation. While traditional documentary photography has captured social and historical transformations, contemporary photographers explore new possibilities by expanding the boundaries of the medium. Through this evolution, Korean photography has developed a distinct visual language that reflects the ongoing changes in society and culture.

New Horizons: Korean Contemporary Photography introduces seven photographers who reinterpret reality through their images, responding to the world around them and creating new narratives. This exhibition highlights how Korean contemporary photography engages with global artistic trends while maintaining its unique perspective. These artists, who have witnessed the transition from analog to digital photography, continue to experiment with the medium’s potential. Their works go beyond simple representation, using photography to question, redefine, and expand how we perceive the world.”
