Bøger af Jeehey Kim

"From the late nineteenth century, when Korean travelers brought Western photographic technology home from China, to modern times, photography has been interwoven into Korea's political and cultural history. In Photography and Korea, the first history of Korean photography for a Western readership, Jeehey Kim presents multiple visions of the country, including the divided peninsula, Korea as imagined through foreign eyes, key Korean artists, Korean diasporas and local professional and vernacular photographers. Kim explores studio and institutional practices during the Japanese colonial period, and the divergence of practices after the division of Korea." --
