Photographer Kim Ji-won's latest work is all about 'faces'

By Kim Tong-hyung

Daegu-based Gallery NUDA is displaying the latest work of photographer Kim Ji-won, who is generating a buzz in the art scene for her unique perspectives on modern life.

The exhibition, “unFACEful vol. 2,” displays 14 of Kim’s latest works. As indicated by the title, faces are the underlying theme of her current exhibition. Kim captures her models from the left, right and behind their heads. Some are photographed from the front but their faces are concealed by sun caps.

Kim’s images of faces seen and unseen are intended as a commentary on the social media culture and how she believes it stifles individuality and creativity.
