Changwook Gu "GLARING CONTRADICTION"
"I imagine myself facing 100 fluorescent light bulbs. The light is so bright it almost forces you to close your eyes. All those rhetorical expressions they use only makes us suspicious and leads us to think as there is something that is desperately needed to be concealed. It also gave me an idea to try conceal the ugliness and nasty stuff in our lives by shooting the light directly into them. In the end I realized even though the strong light blinds the subject it only emphasizes its existence."
Changwook Gu was born in Seoul, South Korea and is studying at the Muthesius School of Art in Kiel. This is his first exhibition in Norway.
