Lighthouses, Quietly Shining
Starting from the 408-day aerial sit-in by Cha Gwang-ho, a laid-off worker from Star Chemical in 2015, this book contains photos and stories from 33 aerial sit-in sites between 2005 and 2019. The photos, taken not immediately after the events but after time had passed, deeply illuminate the aerial sit-ins and the lives of their protagonists. The artist looks beyond the simple confrontational framework of the media, slowly examining the context of the remaining stories and the real stories of the aerial sit-in participants.
