○ The 2010 Seoul Photo Festival is held under the topic of ‘Returning Seoul Back to Seoul’ and focuses on ‘Seoul’ where is the venue of the event. Seoul has been continually developing, expanding and evolving. Now is the time for Seoul to stop changing and retrospect itself for a moment. Thus, Seoul, so-called fast-paced city, needs a mirror for looking into itself. Such a mirror is none other than its photos. This event aims to utilize photo records so that Seoul may examine and introspect itself, with an ultimate view to returning Seoul back to Seoul.

○ In this respect, the 2010 Seoul Photo Festival is distinctly different from the previous photo-related festivals since it is highly intended for the sake of Seoul citizens. In the Seoul Photo Festival, Seoul citizens will be able to look into and find themselves. For this purpose, a thesaurus of photo materials derived from Seoul-related photo archives will be categorized, conceptualized and exhibited in this festival, in which photographers will display and demonstrate such aspects of Seoul as we have never seen or encountered. At the same time, there will be some exhibitions and workshops in which citizens can participate, enjoy and learn. Professionals as well as common citizens will be able to attend and relish various levels of programs. In the workshop, photos, which have remained in its closed field, will seek for an opportunity to actively communicate with the other fields of art and culture.
