The Korean word for photography, "sajin," predates the invention of the camera. When a Korean delegation first encountered photography and had their portraits made on a visit to Beijing in 1863, they described the images in their travel journals in terms of Korean traditions and concepts rooted in representational portrait painting. In this project, a historical and material linkage between photography and painting is enacted through a process that combines archival imagery, light-sensitive paint, and rephotographic technique. The resulting images occupy an uncanny space between the two media.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
