◼︎About the Exhibition
Korea and Japan.
These two neighboring nations have long shared sensibilities that resonate even in the sound of waves, the ridgelines of mountains, and a single drop of water poured into a vessel.
Commemorating the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and Korea, “Creating Ma: Between Korea and Japan” revisits the views of nature, folk-craft spirit, and sensitivity to time rooted in both countries.
“Ma” is not merely empty space.
It is the silence between words, the air trembling between light and shadow, the distance that allows hearts to meet.
Between Korea and Japan there has indeed been friction at times, and misunderstanding.
Yet at the same time, in that in-between space lies a margin of culture that quietly resonates.
Artists from Korea and Japan present works that give form to “ma” through the medium of photography, its materials and gestures.
Each work transcends nationality, weaving “a single gaze” together with landscapes, textures, and a prayer-like sensibility.
To stand in between, now. And from there, a new “ma” is born.
