New Horizons : Korean Contemporary Photography | Artist Panel with Joanne Junga Yang with artists Soosik Lim & Sun Hi Zo
May 10 @ 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Join us for a special conversation with the curator and artists of the exhibition New Horizons. Joanne Junga Yang will be in the museum with participating artists Soosik Lim and Sun Hi Zo.
New Horizons: Korean Contemporary Photography provides an in-depth look at the artistic and intellectual currents shaping contemporary Korean photography.
Through the works presented, audiences engage with the intersections of personal narratives and collective memory, shifting perspectives on identity and representation, and the evolving role of photography in illuminating both the visible and the unseen.
This exhibition challenges conventional ways of seeing, encouraging viewers to reconsider visual perception and engage with photography as a medium that shapes how we perceive and reimagine the world around us.
– Joanne Junga Yang
Soosik Lim graduated from Chung-ang University’s Department of Photography and the graduate school of the same university. He expresses various objects that symbolize universal desire using photography through series of works such as Chaekgado (which combined photos of bookshelves with the way in which to create Korean traditional paintings), Picturenary, Mountain, and Room.K. Lim has participated in over 100 group exhibitions and 20 solo exhibitions in many countries, including the U.K., Spain, and Brazil. His works are housed at several museums, such as the Art Bank at Korea’s National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and Germany’s Reiner Kunze Museum.
Sun Hi Zo (b. 1971) explores loss, memory, and transformation through photography. Her works, including Daisy; Cosmos Mea (2022) and Frozen Gaze (2020~), examine the boundaries of time, impermanence, and presence. Her Planet (2024~) series investigates material and temporal continuity, presenting decay as a continuous cycle of dissolution and renewal. Recently, she has been working on a desert-based project exploring invisibility and traces. Based in Seoul, she works globally and studied at Yonsei and Hongik University. She is currently a professor at Kyungil University.
