About

The fifteenth volume of Collection of Photographs, Lee Gap Chul features 64 handpicked works of art from Lee’s major series. An investigation of the ephemeral nature of photography, Yankees on the Street was inspired by Lee’s curiosity about places and circumstances. Images of the City examines interpersonal connections and personal-structural relationships in modern urban settings. Land of Others delves into Korea’s prevailing inequality. Conflict and Reaction seeks traditional and cultural spirit. Energy depicts the vitality of humanity and nature. This single volume presents the dynamic transfiguration of Lee Gap Chul’s artistic world.
Bae Mun Seong’s analysis of Lee’s auteur theory, as revealed in a profound interview, sheds light on the artist’s life and world. The photographer’s own aphoristic annotations offer a new window of interpretation for those who read his photographs.
