Nabi ¥±

 

When day and night get mingled and so do light and darkness, there surfaces the deep and soothing energy of time and space. Then I capture and record the mysterious energy of that moment on my film. As the darkness falls, my senses and reason get tranquilized. Slowly and quietly, my humble being gets drawn deep into the energy of the space.

 

When the world falls under the spell of the darkness completely, the energies in and out of myself meet each other once again and at that moment I press the shutter again. Everytime the flash goes off in the dark, a nabi comes into being. One, two, three, four, five¡¦¡¦, tens and hundreds of energies turn themselves into nabis  and land on my film.

 

The ¡°Instant Flash¡± that I use for my work is an instant light. It certainly does exist but is an energy that cannot be captured. It is the most essential tool and also the most significant symbol in my photography. We now have something invisible that does exist and the positive energy that was transmitted by it. The light as a medium of such energy can only be manifested through light and darkness, gentle and tough, and harmony and balance.

 

Butterflies represent the soul in the East. Butterflies fly between here and there, even crossing the border between life and death. Coincidentally, the Korean word for butterfly, nabi, also means ¡°prophet¡± in Hebrew. Because of this, the light in various forms and symbols is concentrated as butterfly in this series.

 

I moved my work field from the Honam area (the south western part of S. Korea) where I did most of my work to Jeju. I was simply drawn by the fundamental energy that the Jeju island¡¯s primitive nature held in it. After several years in Jeju, it was Zhujiajiao in China that my curiosity led me to for its great energy stemmed from the traditional lifestyle and nature of the town. The work in Tohoku was my earnest prayer, from the site of fallen civilization by the Tohoku earthquake.

 

Then I was in Cappadocia in Turkey, a once sanctuary for the suppressed Christians. There I tried to visualize the noble and sympathetic connection with the earth that was emitting an intense energy. Lastly, in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I wanted to highlight peace and calmness found in the Khmer temples that was still miraculously standing even after their long and harsh past.                                                                                                                          2016 Lee Jeonglok
