Description
Medium: Cyanotype on Hanji
Edition: Unique
Framing: Framed
The Playful Imagination series employs photogram-based cyanotype processes and emerged from the artist's ongoing exploration of the subtle beauty and latent possibilities hidden in everyday objects. Leaves, feathers, and small tools-items often overlooked-are placed under light and transformed through the direct reaction of photosensitive materials into new images suspended between representation and abstraction. The deep blue tonality lends the work a mysterious, dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to reconsider the concealed visual dimensions of familiar things.
Kim JungHyun teaches in the Department of Photography at the Graduate School of Hongik University in Korea. He began working with film photography in high school and gradually developed a distinctive artistic language centered on historical photographic processes. His works have been exhibited in Korea and abroad, including in various exhibitions and residency programs. Committed to exploring materiality and handcraft, he places "time" and the "play of making" at the core of his practice, using labor-intensive processes such as coating, developing, and re-rendering to challenge photography's reproducibility and create unique works.
