Gaze & Stare

ABOUT

Seonhee Moon is a photographer who focuses on beings placed in the blind spots of systems. She does not cling to the distinction between human and non-human beings, but instead looks at invisible beings from different perspectives and senses. Her representative work is the series 'Bury' (2015), which documented burial sites of foot-and-mouth disease and avian flu that were unsealed in 2015, and through this work, she began to make her name known to the public. Through subsequent works on children who experienced May 18, workers driven to aerial protests, and series on water deer and pigeons labeled as harmful animals, she raises fundamental questions about how our society treats life and the direction it should take.

Art for All, Sound for Art
Exhibition Aug 20, 2025

Art for All, Sound for Art

The 'Art for All, Sound for Art' exhibition at the Lee Kang-ha Art Museum was created with the hope that it would be an exhibition and art that people can lean on each other. While most visual art exhibitions convey the meaning of art through the sense of 'seeing,' this exhibition aims to awaken other senses beyond sight to communicate the meaning of art to visitors.
