The term ‘Junsinsajo’ is used in Korean portrait painting, meaning the replication of a person’s shape and spirit. Through various image-making processes, this idea endures in contemporary photography through the rendering of a model’s shape, personality and capturing of their spirit, as well as physical likeness. Believing is Seeing features artworks that are based on Junsinsajo and question the notion of ‘Koreanness’.
Co-curated by David Drake at Ffotogallery and Jiyoon Lee from the SUUM Academy & Project, this exhibition is the first contemporary Korean photography exhibition in Wales, indeed one of the first in the UK. Project funded by Arts Council Korea and Wales Arts International.
Open Tues – Sat, 11am – 5pm
