Biography
광학 기기가 매개하는 예술의 형식을 통해 역사적인 현실의 풍경을 담아내는 다큐멘터리 사진 작업을 이어오고 있다. 특수한 지역과 지리적 경로를 설정하고, 이러한 경로를 축으로 다양한 대립과 분열이 공존하는 현재 사회상의 시원을 더듬어 찾아 나감으로써 과거와 현재가 교차하는 장면들을 발견한다.
동시에, 사진 매체가 크게 변모하고 대중화된 동시대 디지털 환경 속에서 유효할 수 있는 다큐멘터리 사진의 가능성과 방향성을 고민하며 일종의 미술 형식으로서의 사진 실험을 지속하고 있다. 이에 일환으로 사진 매체와 도서관이라는 물리적 형태가 비물질로 나아가기 위한 단계별 이주를 실험하는 과정으로 <사진의 도서관(LBDF, LA BIBLIOTECA DE FOTO)>을 운영 중이다.
최근 개인전으로 《푸른 날》(2023, GCS)을 개최했으며, 단체전 《젊은 모색 2021》(2021, 국립현대미술관)에 참여했다.
Through the use of optical instruments to mediate the artistic form, NOH Gihun continues to capture the historical reality of landscapes in documentary photography. By selecting specific locations and geographic paths as an axis, and tracing and advancing in search of the origin of contemporary society that coexist with various conflicts and divisions, NOH discovers scenes where the past and present intersect.
At the same time, in this contemporary digital age where photography as a medium has greatly changed and popularized, NOH contemplates the possibilities and directions of documentary photography that can be effective, and continues to experiment with photography as a form of art. As part of this effort, NOH runs a photography library called "La Biblioteca De Foto (LBDF)," which explores the gradual migration of the physical form of photography and libraries into the immaterial realm.
NOH recently held a solo exhibition titled "VIEW POINT BLUE" (2023, GCS) and participated in the group exhibition "Young Korean Artists 2021" (2021, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art).
