Bohnchang Koo's and Byunghun Min's black and white prints reflect Taoist traditions, which have been a fundamental part of the Korean psyche, through imagery that suggests oriental ink drawing. Il Hong and Jongmyung Lee photograph urban landscapes in the process of rapid change, while Jehak Yu expresses the feelings of isolation felt by the individual in a fast-moving contemporary society. Heinkuhn Oh captures a specific group of women (the Ajumma) who, in middle age and with their families grown up, try to find a place within the male chauvinistic Confucian tradition which still exists in Korean society. Finally, Atta Kim creates works that express Buddhist traditions with modern colours and iconography through the construction of strong metaphoric tableaux and the recurrent device of the glass display case.
