The Design

About Mirage de Parc Public Facilities

Mirage de Parc is an architectural photography series made on Yeongjongdo Island in Incheon, South Korea. The images focus on the area under the monorail station in front of the Paradise City Hotel. Natural light reflected on structures and buildings creates effects that resemble a mirage. Curved yellow lines run through the wide space and shape each composition. The photographs were taken with a 35mm camera and tilt-shift lenses over nine months, at dawn and at sunset across the seasons. The series reflects the transformation of the island.

Production Technology: TS lenses, which can express movement with a 35mm DSLR camera, were the most helpful for filming.
Design Challenge: It was 'waiting'. I spent time moving, seeing, and thinking about the timing of the outcome I wanted.
Research: Working for a year, I traveled about 100 kilometers round trip. We investigated elements that could give us an atmosphere, such as dawn and dusk, and took pictures every season. In order to express sculptures like mirages, the color just rising and the time zone at sunset were the most appropriate.
Inspiration: Yeongjong do, it is now one of the fancy islands in South Korea which is located in Incheon city and has the Incheon International Airport. Before the airport is built, there was literally a wasteland. The island is completely developed now. Jongmin Park had seen the timeline of development the island for several years. When he was young, he used to go there to take a picture. One day after years, he went to there again and watched a beautiful mirage made by the reflection of natural lights su
Project Duration: 9 months
