Summary:

"Jejudo is a seventeen-year journey through the island's complex history. Park's fascination with the landscape takes us from rugged natural scenes to abandoned buildings that serve as reminders of the island's often unacknowledged histories and its ongoing transformation. His photographs reveal spaces that were once populated, prompting the viewer to reflect on the countless people who vanished. An important part of Park's work is the series Forbidden Forest, which centres on Jeju Gotjawal, a dense evergreen forest in the western part of the island. This man-made environment was created by locals to protect themselves from wildfires. Evoking a sense of timelessness, its labyrinthine thorny bushes and stark silhouettes symbolise Jeju's resilience"-- Publisher's website.
