三影堂摄影艺术中心荣幸地呈现展览“徘徊久-具本昌摄影（1990-2021）”。本展览是韩国摄影家具本昌在中国的个展，以艺术家早期作品“初始”为起点，梳理了其近三十年来的“面具”、“息”、“白瓷”、“金”等系列作品。

具本昌作为摄影家和策展人的身份活跃于韩国当代摄影领域。自商业管理专业转向摄影艺术实为天性使然。具本昌在入职商业公司后抽身离开，前往德国学习艺术，在那里，自幼被深埋的内敛、敏感和细腻与摄影相遇。背离家族期待投身充满不确定性的艺术，具本昌早期的作品暗涌着每一个选择做出时的挣扎与苦楚—触手时的渴求，回望时的空无一物。

二十世纪末期是具本昌人生和创作的转折点。随着病榻上父亲呼吸与精神的消散，具本昌的目光与视角投向失落的空间中，他的思考从沉重的个体意义的追求，释放到渺小但永恒的存在。“命运之于生命的不确定性、生物与非生物的腐朽与消逝”成为艺术家后续创作探讨的主题，焚烧的相纸和传统祭祀的面具成为在现实世界与精神世界之间摆渡的灵媒。具本昌是时间残骸的收藏者：溶解的香皂、古老的白瓷、墙壁的灰尘，被艺术家置于无色无光无影的虚空，在消逝与永恒的迷宫中徘徊不散。

Lingering in Time: Koo Bohnchang’s Photography (1990-2021)

Three Shadows Photography Art Centre is proud to present “Lingering in Time: Koo Bohnchang’s Photography (1990-2021).” The exhibition is noted Korean photographer Koo Bohnchang’s first solo show in China. Starting with In the Beginning, the exhibition presents thirteen important series created over the last thirty years, including Mask, Breath, Vessel, and Gold.

Koo Bohnchang has long been active in the South Korean contemporary photography scene as a photographer and curator. His transition from a business administration degree to a photography practice was quite natural. After he quit his job at a large corporation, he traveled to Germany to study. There, the restraint, sensitivity, and refinement that had been buried deep within him from a young age found its match in photography. After deviating from his family’s expectations and immersing himself in the uncertainty of an artistic career, Koo’s early work was imbued with the struggle and suffering of every decision when it was made—the longing for touch and the emptiness of looking back.

The 1990s were a turning point in his life and work. After his father’s breath and spirit slowly left him, Koo’s gaze turned to spaces of absence, and his thinking shifted away from the pursuit of weighty individual meaning and toward insignificant yet eternal presences. In his later work, he has explored the uncertainty of fate in our lives and how living and non-living things decay and fade away. Burning photo paper and masks from traditional ceremonies have become mediums between the earthly and spiritual realms. Koo Bohnchang is a collector of vestiges of time. He places dissolving bars of soap, ancient porcelain, and dust on walls into voids without color, light, or shadow; they linger in the labyrinth of the vanishing and the eternal.
