[WKIC Seoul Chapter] Visit to Noh Jung-ha photo exhibition

In the middle of November when yellow gingko leaves were rolling on the street, I and the members of Seoul branch visited the photo exhibition of Noh Jung-ha, a member of our branch, held at the Kumho Museum of Art.

The exhibition was titled 'Love, Death, and Nostalgia.' Before the visit, the artist told us that the exhibition would be 'expressing photographs as videos.' So I went expecting videos that I saw a few times recently, such as the Monet's Water Lilies digital exhibition. What awaited me, however, was a completely new form of exhibition I had never seen before.

First, we were greeted by a mystic and overwhelming color that was somewhere between purple and pink. As we approached what seemed like a large photograph, the image subtly transformed. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the image was a collage of smaller screens, each displaying a moving video. These video displays were meticulously arranged to form a single, uniquely designed video piece. The colors of the individual videos and the collage video seemed to blend together as if the hues of a sunset change colors without us knowing.

I was amazed by the original composition of the video. My next thought was how much time, effort, and dedication must have gone into creating it, and I felt a deep sense of respect for the artist. I was also so proud of her for achieving such artistic heights.
