The first history of Korean photography in English.
Photography and Korea is the first history of Korean photography for a Western readership. Beginning in the late nineteenth century, when Korean travelers brought photographic technology home from China, Photography and Korea presents multiple visions of the country, Korean diasporas, important Korean artists, and local photographers. The book also addresses studio and institutional practices during the Japanese colonial period, how photography connects with Korean political and cultural history, and the divergence of practices after the division of Korea. Featuring numerous striking images, this book is essential reading for all interested in the history of Korean photography.
Introduction -- The darkroom on the peninsula -- Korean photography and Japanese colonialism -- Photography in and about North Korea -- The Korean War and photography of the 1950s -- Korean photography since the 1970s -- Diaspora in and out of Korea.
"From the late nineteenth century, when Korean travelers brought Western photographic technology home from China, to modern times, photography has been interwoven into Korea's political and cultural history. In Photography and Korea, the first history of Korean photography for a Western readership, Jeehey Kim presents multiple visions of the country, including the divided peninsula, Korea as imagined through foreign eyes, key Korean artists, Korean diasporas and local professional and vernacular photographers. Kim explores studio and institutional practices during the Japanese colonial period, and the divergence of practices after the division of Korea." -- Book jacket.
