ARTIST & EXHIBITION
A gap found in unfamiliar places
Photographer and curator Seok Jaehyun has worked across photojournalism and documentary photography. 틈_elsewhere gathers unfamiliar landscapes and people encountered while travelling and organizing exhibitions abroad.
The exhibition presented images made in Argentina, Africa, Hungary, Belgium, the United States, China, Turkey, Germany, Singapore and Japan. Through them, the photographer reflects on his own gaze and the inner “gap” that shaped these encounters.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Exhibition statement · Summary
While travelling abroad as a curator, Seok Jaehyun continued to carry a camera, even as he felt the absence of sustained personal work. The exhibition brings together unfamiliar places, people and moments encountered on those journeys. It offered him an opportunity to reflect on himself as a photographer alongside his curatorial practice.
The solo exhibition ran at Art Shop TOMA from 19 to 30 May 2017, welcoming photography professionals, enthusiasts and local visitors.
