I’m excited to be included in the 18th Jeonju International Photography Festival, taking place from April 26 to May 25, 2025, in Jeonju, South Korea.
This international festival brings together photographers from around the world, and it’s a privilege to have my work included alongside such talented artists.
This year’s festival theme, curated by Eric Weeks, is “Making not Taking: The Conscious Art of Photography.” The exhibition explores photography’s ability to transcend simple representation — using imagery to convey layered stories, metaphors.
For me, this theme resonates strongly with my ongoing work photographing Greenland’s fragile and haunting landscapes. At night, under shifting northern light, abandoned U.S. military bases and melting glaciers become metaphors for history, memory, environmental change, and the uncertain future. The photographs blur the line between documentation and dream, asking viewers to consider what is disappearing, both physically and culturally.
I’m grateful to exhibit alongside a diverse group of international artists whose work spans portraiture, documentary, conceptual, and landscape photography. Participating artists include:
The festival also features special exhibitions by Victoria Sambunaris and over a dozen contemporary Korean photographers, offering a broad perspective on photography today.
Located in the cultural heart of Seohak Art Village in Jeonju, South Korea, the festival is an annual celebration of photography as both art and social commentary. It has become a platform for dialogue between Korean and international photographers, curators, and audiences.
For visitors, the festival offers not only compelling exhibitions but also lectures, workshops, portfolio reviews, and public events. It’s an immersive opportunity to engage with photography in an intimate and culturally rich setting.
I’ve long been fascinated by how photography can simultaneously capture reality and suggest metaphorical meanings. My Greenland work is deeply tied to themes of climate change, impermanence, and the unseen traces of history. Being included in a festival that encourages viewers to look beyond the image to its underlying meanings is inspiring.
