ILWOO photography prize book ! Seung Woo Back "Blow Up / Utopia"

　

　

IANN BOOKS has published the work of ILWOO Photography Award winner, Seung Woo Back.
As a starting point for both series, 'Utopia & Blowup', Seung Woo Back uses material collected
from an expedition into North Korea's capital, Pyongyang. In 'Blowup' he draws our attention
to details that have undergone censorship by North Korean authorities while in 'Utopia' he digitally
reconstructs 1970s era propaganda images. As if looking at a panorama or a long film strip the images
are placed immediately after another creating a continuous flow and overall coherence.
Essays by Suejin Shin and Tim Maul along with an interview by Sohl Lee are included in the book.

Price: 30,000 won / Dimension: 260x180mm / Pages: 176 / Soft cover /

ABOUT
To celebrate the release of Hein-kuhn Oh's book 'COSMETIC GIRLS' IANN BOOKS organized a special
artist lounge talk at the Artsonje Center. In his new series, Hein-kuhn Oh keenly observes the behaviors and
presentations of teenage girls transitioning towards womanhood. Following the tradition of his style he
approached girls on the street and photographed them. He questions the meaning of beauty in today's society
and how much of it is avoidable or unavoidable from outside influence.
Prior to his new series the artist showed and discussed his previous works including the series 'Americans
them,' 'Itaewon Story,' 'Ajumma,' and 'Girls's Act.'

The works of Jang Taewon (Dwyane Wade Studio)

　

How would it look if a white wall was filled with the poster work of Jang Taewon?
To be able to see a photographer's work on the wall is a delightful experience.

Introduction
“Youth is present only when its presence is a problem, or is regarded as a problem.” - Dick Hebdige

There is a subtle difference between the terms “growing up” and “grown up.” In general, if “growing up” is a state of self-formation,
of going forward amidst continuous change, “grown up” is that of self-realization whereby the changes ripen and become complete.
If puberty can be understood as an incomplete period, physically and mentally, then adolescents are in that “growing up”phase
whereby it is only natural that they appear unstable or ambiguous.As a result, their provocative acts of change — the overflow
of individuality or showmanship — often risk becoming the object of restriction or censorship for the simple reason that they
lack a sense of identity. But what is the criterion for judging whether one is “growing up” or already “grown up”? As mentioned
by Dick Hebdige, when we take away our prejudiced gaze from our youth, how then is it present?...

Hein-kuhn Oh "Cosmetic Girls"

　

Hein-Kuhn Oh’s new book titled Cosmetic Girls is published by IANNBOOKS. It consists of Korean
teenager girls’ portraits wearing heavy make-up including his previous series Girls’ Act. By typifying
their cosmetic looks, the artist attempts to reveal the ambiguous identity of each individual expressed
in their facial masks and questions about their standardizing individualities due to the social desire and gaze.
