Black Wind
Gap Chul Lee


“The individual images have been parsed together in the way morphemes form a sentence. As single trees come together as a forest, the work as a whole comes to us as a ‘wind-rising landscape.’The creative, free spirit escapes the artist, sweeping into the world of the unconscious, traveling beyond the bounds of sky and earth, mountains and water, people and events, to become a wind of ideas, with nature as it is with its omnidirectional spirit.” _‘The other side of the moon’ by Curator Kwan Hoon Lee

Gap Chul Lee is recognized for his intense images that convey inwardness and energy of Korea. However, the photos in this book are a mixture of new works not easily encountered by the public, that reveals a veiled unconsciousness. Prefaced with the poem ‘At the Edge of the World’ by Seung-ja Choi, ‘Black Wind’ carries the silence of an unseen world through a tuned flow of black and white from the first page to its last.
