Canon Korea Inc. to Hold Photo Exhibition Capturing Everyday Life Through Three Artists’ Eyes

[Financial News] Three artists active in different fields will present everyday moments and stories captured through their cameras in one place. The exhibition aims to shed light on the meaning of photography through images that record each artist’s perspective, from moments spent with family to inner emotions and relationships with others.
Canon Korea Inc. said on the 13th that it will hold the exhibition “Capture the World, In the End, It Resembles Me” at Canon Gallery in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, through the 30th.
The exhibition features illustrator Kim Nahum, poet and photographer Lee Hwon, and photographer Jung Melmel.
The three artists used Canon’s full-frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R8 Mark II, to capture in photographs the world as seen from their respective perspectives.
Kim Nahum documented the everyday life of a growing child and their family, capturing moments that become more precious with time. Lee Hwon projected thoughts and emotions that are difficult to express in words onto landscapes, while Jung Melmel’s work captures the experience of forming relationships with new people through a camera and seeing familiar everyday life in a new way.
The exhibition venue will also screen the documentary “A World Photographed in My Own Way Becomes a World That Resembles Me,” which features the three artists’ thoughts on photography and their experiences taking pictures. The EOS R8 Mark II used to photograph the works will be displayed alongside Canon’s older film cameras, allowing visitors to explore changes in camera technology and design.
The EOS R8 Mark II is equipped with an approximately 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a DIGIC X image processor. It supports autofocus (AF) that automatically recognizes and tracks people and animals, as well as five-axis image stabilization of up to 7.5 stops at the center.
An event for visitors will also be held. Those who leave an answer to the question “What does photography mean to me?” displayed at the exhibition and post confirmation on Instagram will be entered into a draw to receive a miniature Canon camera; 50 people will be selected.
A talk program featuring the three artists will also take place on the 21st. It will include a documentary screening, followed by a discussion with the artists and a question-and-answer session with the audience. Free registration is available on the Canon Academy website.
“I hope visitors will discover a new perspective through the photos and stories of the three artists, and enjoy sharing their everyday lives and stories with one another through photography,” said Park Jung-woo, CEO of Canon Korea Inc.
The exhibition is free to visit at Canon Gallery on the basement first floor of Canon Plex. Visiting hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
