BOOMOON
b. 1955, South KoreaBoomoon is a photographer born in Daegu in 1955 and living in Seoul and Sokcho, South Korea. He took interest in photography in the early 1970s, quickly abandoned painting, which was to become his speciality, and enrolled in the Photography department of Chung-Ang University, Seoul. His very early works are mainly street photographs. Black and white pictures taken between 1972 and 1975 formed the core of his first solo show Photo Poems held in Seoul in 1975.
Since he devoted himself to art around 2000, he created abundant works and exhibitions. His main issue remains in the experience of the infinity of nature and the representation of its presence. For him, photography is a method and the conclusion of his landscape experience.
