Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and co-organised by PYO Gallery, the exhibition “Travelogue--works by Park, Seung Hoon”, was inaugurated on Thursday, 28 April, at 6:30pm, at Gallery of Taipa Houses-Museum. Sixteen photography works by the young Korean artist, Park, Seung Hoon, were showcased, showing the feature of cultural tourism. Residents and tourists are welcome to visit the exhibition. The opening ceremony was officiated by the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Alexis Tam Chon Weng; the Acting Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Macao S.A.R., Pan Yun Dong; the Director of the Department of Education and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao S.A.R., Xu Ting; the President of the Cultural Affairs Bureau; Ung Vai Meng; the President of PYO Gallery, Misun Pyo; the Curator, Heidi Chang and the Artist, Park, Seung Hoon. The exhibition features two series of photography works by Park, Seung Hoon, namely Textus and A Better Explanation. The Textus series is captured on positive 16mm movie film with an 8 x 10mm camera. Park weaves multiple film strips that he produced across the continents over the years into a single unique photograph to reconstruct a perfect scenario. The latest work of Park, A Better Explanation, is a manifestation of change over time and space through the long-term photography of the riverside scenery of the Arno River, in Florence. With his artistic language, he presents the scene of the moment while depicting the social and historical development of the Arno River. The organiser hopes this exhibition can share the detailed and creative works of the young Korean artist Park, Seung Hoon with the public, for exploring the possibility of artistic creation and inspiring audience to develop their own imagination through his photography works. The exhibition “Travelogue--works by Park, Seung Hoon” will be held from 29 April to 26 June at Gallery of Taipa Houses-Museum. Admission is free. The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 6pm including public holidays (closed on Mondays). For enquiries, please contact IC through tel no. 8988 4000 during office hours.
