Hardcover. 1. Aufl./ 1.000 Ex. This new monograph on Boo Moon, one of Koreas great contemporary photographers, takes the form of a visual narrative. The book is divided into three sections: Land, Sea, and Sky. The urban landscapes range from stifflingly lush green forests to razed construction sites, all of which succumb to heavy winter snows. Subtle changes in perspective show an ongoing battle between sunlight and clouds over a bottomless sea and the camera slowly pulls away to the safety of the sky. Taken from the skies, the final photographs point away from the earth and towards the comfort and terror of infinity. Essays by Taro Amano and Shino Kuraishi. Printed in a first edition of 1,000 copies. (Sehr gut erhalten - Schutzumschlag gering berieben / in very good condition) Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1500.…

From the artist: "Naksan, created in February 2010, is characterized by its vertical frame, details in waves and big size. The snowy shore in the lower part of the image is an important element bonding the viewer to the scene. The poet and critic Shino Kuraishi wrote, 'the sea shore, transformed into a uniform, absolute blank by the accumulated snow, looms before the body of the beholder and serves as a platform that blocks the movement of the incoming waves.The shore may be a "stage," but it is entirely anti-theatrical. It has nothing to do with spectacle, of a type that would satisfy the visual desires of the general public. Rather, it is as if the stage was built for one beholder alone. These are photographs for a quiet dialogue with oneself. The vertical frame, and the presence of the absolute blank "stage" at the bottom of the frame, circumscribe and clarify the fact that, at this very moment, the photographer-beholder is witnessing face-on the event taking place in this absolute zone. At the same time, the stage that stands of the side of the beholder becomes overt. In other words, it is a mirror. I confront myself as a landscape.'".…

From the publisher: "Boomoon's third book with Nazraeli Press, Stargazing at Sokcho comprises 19 dreamlike land- and skyscapes made in the artist's secluded hometown in north-eastern Korea. Resembling nothing so much as the way the skies might look from the inside of a snow-globe, these gorgeous color photographs include hints of Sokcho's soaring granite peaks and dense forests, clear, bitterly cold skies, and an almost audible roar of silent eternity. Boomoon is widely considered one of South Korea's most important contemporary artists. His photographs and films have been shown widely in Asia and Europe, and are included in important collections throughout the world. Stargazing at Sokcho is printed on matte art paper, with a double varnish, in an oversized horizontal format; this first printing is limited to 500 casebound copies.".…

Hardcover. Condition: New. This is the third book from Korean Photographer published by Nazraeli Press 'The winter sea that Boomoon photographed was so stormy it could just as well be called a sea of snow. The snow is constantly, imperceptibly, burying and sinking the landscape in a uniform whiteness. But the accumulating snow does not simply cover and hide the landscape, it strips away the cover of existing meaning that envelops the figure of nature. At times the windblown snow violently agitates the scene, but this agitation can also be seen having the same endpoint. The snow is making the landscape new.' from the introduction by Shino Kuraishi. Our third monograph with the contemporary artist Boomoon presents a series of 33 photographs of a snowstorm where the sea meets the coast of Naksan. The series takes its name from a beach in northeast Korea that faces Japan. But the photographs construct an encounter for the beholders with themselves, wherever they may be, to reflect on the place they are in now, so the location is 'nowhere.' Or, as was the case with Boomoon's previous book, On the Clouds, 'anywhere'. Photographs by Boomoon. Nazraeli Press, Portland, 2011. 44 pp., 33 duotone illustrations, 9x13".…
