Yong Ho Kim

Photographer Kim Yong-Ho has been creating a unique and surreal story that combines images of his everyday experiences and memories, crossing the border between commercial and artistic photos. He has been releasing experimental photos while building relationship with the public. Rather than the ideological aesthetics of photography expressed by any form or constraint, he plans a continuous and meaningful project. As a groundbreaking recorder, he pays closer attention to the moment when the border between various gazes, freedom, and unconsciousness is expressed through the contemporary era. He has led projects that evoked the public's sympathy with ‘unique presence’ and 'originality' in each field of photography, broadcasting, culture, art, fashion, lifestyle, etc., and re-examined icons, companies, culture, brands, and cultural heritage. He is classified as an exceptional and challenging artist. He changed the cultural trend of photography and commercial through unexpected ideas, composition, and re-imagination of perspective, and has contributed greatly to spreading the global image of Korean companies since the exhibition of “Body” at Daelim Museum in 2008.


In recent years, his works tended to focus widely on the possibilities of photographic images as well as video media. Multimedia that borders across the exhibition is sometimes visual text that replaces the artist's notes or commentary, and sometimes functions as a fascinating detail that mediates the traditional virtue within the photography—Punctum and Studium. These characteristics uniquely reveal the world of Kim Yong-Ho, which cannot be defined by only one category, and bring vitality to the gap behind the still image.
