***

Kanghyuk Lee has been active as a photographer 'Snakepool' and has recorded various underground subculture scenes such as art, design, fashion, and queer. Snap images taken with light, fast, and cheerful flashes between ordinary and dangerous mixed with grotesque night views in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul and Incheon, and a new generation, creating a scene like heterogeneous paintings through digital-correction work. These effects are a unique driving force for reconstructing images outside the narrative of a picture. /// Yul-Lee Yoon (Curator of Ilmin Museum of Art)
