물질로서의 사진과 실재의 상호작용 가능성 - 작품 평평한 방, 80g을 통해 -

Abstract

This study is an attempt to explore the potential for the media expansion of photography through the series "Flat Room" and "80g." The advancements in photography technology have transformed the fundamental structure of photography, which is created through the reflection of light and have been creating new subjects or worlds. However, in-depth reflections on photography still cannot completely escape the directive aspect and are considered an essential concept that cannot be omitted in discussing the medium. The two works introduced in this study address the inevitable relationship between the subject and the image created in the process of producing photographic images, presenting photography as a physical object. The reproduced image that becomes a physical object reveals the materiality of the original subject of the photograph while interacting with various elements of reality in its own right. Through this research, I introduce the creation and development process of the two works, attempting to view photography not merely as a reproduced image but as an object containing an image. This endeavor aims to expand the propositions of "reproduction" and "truthfulness" inherently present in photography in a new way, serving as my initial theoretical attempt for the ongoing exploration of artistic activities
