About

This book begins with the landscape of a traditional Korean house and family that disappeared with urban development in the 60s and 70s. This is a project continued by Joo, a pioneer of Korean documentary photography, and actively recorded the landscape of Korean traditional life under the subjective intention of capturing our traditional values and beauty. Within the category of records, the landscape leads to the mountains of Korea, which are expressed abstractly. His mountain, which expresses a highly pure mental world that is difficult to describe in language, is closer to the world of senses. In a landscape photograph captured with lines and light in black and white, he encounters his “motherland” that exists as nostalgia. His work to reveal the beautiful nature and tradition of the “motherland,” which has been around for over 50 years, and the simple heart of people through photographs, is implicitly contained in this book.


This photo book came out for the exhibition “Home - Joo, Myung Duck Photography,” and the exhibition leaflet is composed as the dust jacket for a book.
