I love this amazing series dubbed, The Square from Korean photographer Seokmin Ko. Seokmin adds a completely different element to the landscape structure of photography. A mirror shown reflecting its surroundings is held in a field, or in the sea, or on a road. Two hands gripping the mirror’s edge are the only clue of the holder’s presence. Modernist architecture is featured in other images; here, the human hand, the slight presence of humanity, is seen amidst the reflective surfaces of glass and steel construction. He say’s “Regrettably, our eye looks thickly soaked with prejudice and stereotyped minds which are tamed by culture and customs of specific society.” Awesome work from the Korean artist, be sure to check out more of his work after the jump.
