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
