The 2nd Seoul Photo Triennale, hosted by Seoul Museum of Art and the Society of Korea Documentary Photography, will be held in the main building of Seoul Museum of Art through December 18 under the main theme of "TRANSIT."
Through the photos analogizing the phenomenon of human migration, "TRANSIT" will exhibit 25 photographer' work that present moments of social upheaval and the people entangled within them from a cool, stern perspective.
The moments of migration -- and the corresponding social changes and transformations in the urban landscape -- dealt with in the exhibit include both the changing image of South Korea in the 1950s after the Korean War and simultaneously occurring major international social phenomenon.
Representative photo artists of the exhibition include Michael Wesely, who recorded the changes in the urban environment of East Berlin over three years, and Sebastiano Salgado, who captured the last moments in which physical labor was employed in gold mines in Brazil. In addition, 10 overseas artists, including Martin Parr and Paul Seawright of the United Kingdom, Reagan Louie of the United States, Petro Meyer of Mexico and 10 Korean photo artists, including Kang Yongseok and Kim Okseon, are participating in the exhibition.
