About Museum Hanmi Exhibition Bokdesign

Tillsammans med utställningen kommer boken att bidra till att följa den koreanska fotografins fotspår och under vilka institutionella förutsättningar den har skapat historia, samt utgöra en värdefull möjlighet att etablera Koreas fotografihistoria.

Unique Properties: He were directly inspired by the word photo because it is an exhibition photo book that looks back on Korea’s photography history over the past 50 years. Black and white were actively used as design elements on the cover and interior of the book, using photographic techniques that are printed in the way of light and darkness. The exhibition title is Inside Out, so he used intuitive parentheses as graphic elements.

Production Technology: To express light and darkness, the paper on the cover was made in two versions: black and white. The black version is hot foil stamping with glossy black and glossy red, and the white version is hot foil stamping with pearl and glossy red. He printed it on matte paper so that the pictures of the past could be realized well. The book was tied with thread so that it could be fully unfolded and the back of the book has not adhered to.
Design Challenge: The biggest goal is to understand the purpose of the exhibition while following in the footsteps of the institutional conditions in which Korean photography has made history and to convey its meaning well in the photo book. Also, since it is a photo book, He wanted to find a design methodology so that the techniques and elements of photography could be expressed in the book, and the two elements of light and darkness presented a great direction.
Research: Over the years, he reviewed and organized the LIMB Eungsik’s Scrapbook, the largest archive of Korean photographers owned by MUSEUM HANMI. Based on this, he collected and organized photo materials with the help of various related organizations, bereaved families, and writers. Through this, he found the lost link in Korean photography history and filled the gap in the scrapbook. These efforts will serve as a foundation for academic attempts to establish the history of Korean photography.
Inspiration: He designed a photo collection of , which is the opening exhibition of the MUSEUM HANMI SAMCHEONG. As a historical exhibition that looks back on the past 50 years of Korean photography, he follow in the footsteps of what institutional conditions Korean photography made history from 1929 to 1982.
Project Duration: The project began in Seoul, South Korea in August 2022 and ended in January 2023. In Korea, books have been distributed to customers since January 2023.
Operation Flow: He designed this book hoping that it will be a memorable book so that visitors to the exhibition can feel their feelings and thoughts about Korea’s photo history even after the exhibition. Along with the exhibition, the book will help follow the footsteps of Korean photography under what institutional conditions it has made history and will be a valuable opportunity to establish Korea’s photography history.
