Featured Events in Busan in February 2025 (May Updated)

The Guyin Photography Museum will host its first two-person exhibition "A Tale of Two Cities" in 2025, co-organized by photographer Josef Scholz (b. 1966), who currently lives in Düsseldorf, Germany, and Italian photographer Paolo Ventura (b. 1968). The exhibition captures the common theme of "city and architecture" from different perspectives, exhibiting about 40 photographs and two video works that combine digital technology and painting techniques. The exhibition title "A Tale of Two Cities" is inspired by the title of Charles Dickens' novel of the same name, based on the different descriptions of two cities. Just like the contrasting descriptions of the two cities of London and Paris in the revolutionary whirlwind in the novel, the exhibition also presents the two photographers' interpretation and reinterpretation of the city from different perspectives. Josef Scholz and Paolo Ventura not only record the urban landscape in their own way, but also cut into the two common concepts of "city" and "architecture". It also demonstrates the potential of the photographic medium through experimental methods that combine digital technology and painting techniques, and provides an opportunity to explore the urban space we live in.

In today's chaotic social atmosphere and busy daily life, we often lose ourselves. We are busy with work and socializing every day, and what I really want is that I don't have time to think about what state I am in now. So I prepared an exhibition that is like a special gift to me. This exhibition will provide me with an opportunity to reflect on my inner self. I have set up some equipment. Taking time to review yourself will not bring immediate results. But as time accumulates, you will understand yourself better.
