스페인에서 만나는 백자와 황금, 한국의 미
Two iconic Korean cultural treasures—Joseon Baekja or white porcelain and the Silla gold crown—are currently being introduced in Madrid, Spain through a photography exhibition. Today, we are delighted to have a talk with renowned photographer Koo Bohn-chang, one of the leading figures in contemporary Korean photography, who has long captured Korea’s unique aesthetics through objects and cultural heritage. Let’s connect to him now to hear about these remarkable artifacts and the background behind bringing this exhibition to Spain. Hello Mr. Koo!
Q1. To begin, we’d like to hear how this exhibition “Sereno y resplandeciente” came to be held in Spain. What does it mean, what’s the core concept of it? Also could you explain to our global viewers the meaning behind Joseon white porcelain and the Silla gold crowns?
Q2. Your white porcelain series is one of your most well-known works. What first inspired you to photograph it, and what Korean aesthetics did you discover through it?
Q3. White porcelain is often associated with an aesthetic of restraint and simplicity, while the gold crown represents brilliance and splendor. Why did you decide to present these two very different aesthetics together in one exhibition?
Q4. We’ve heard that photographing the Silla gold crown(s) took a considerable amount of time. During the actual process, what was the most challenging aspect, and was there any particularly memorable moment you experienced?
Q5. When photographing cultural heritage or traditional artifacts, what perspective or philosophy is most important to you as an artist? Also, how do you see the difference between experiencing an artifact in person and seeing it through your photographs? (And what do you think is the unique power that photography can offer?)
Q6. This exhibition is particularly meaningful because it is being held in Spain. How do you hope visitors in Spain and across Europe will view Korean white porcelain and the Silla gold crown? Also, could you share with us any memorable reactions from international audiences during your overseas exhibitions?
Q7. Beyond White Porcelain and the Silla Gold Crown, you have consistently explored Korean aesthetics through works such as masks, soap, and gold. Looking ahead, is there any aspect of Korean culture or heritage that you would like to explore next? We’d also love to hear about your future plans.
Thank you very much Mr. Koo for connecting with us today.
Thank you Bella as always, see you next week.
