{"product_id":"42199-han-sungpil","title":"Han Sungpil","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his works of art the Korean photographer Han Sungpil confronts the themes of environment, energy production, and humankind\u0026rsquo;s impact on nature. The three series in this book of photographs are distinguished by their surprising perspective, which goes beyond the visual vocabulary normally found in environmental documentations. Whether it\u0026rsquo;s a painterly French landscape featuring nuclear power plants, presented as a scene of idyllic perfection, or a search for the relics of whale hunting and coal mining in the Arctic and Antarctic, Sungpil\u0026rsquo;s photographs tell, artfully and critically, of nature\u0026rsquo;s sublimity and humankind\u0026rsquo;s overexploitation of it. Photographs of abandoned trawlers, whaling stations, and industrial ruins set in front of monumental, ice-covered landscapes shift the focus to the exploitation of ecological resources, leaving the viewer speechless. Sungpil was awarded the Ilwoo Foundation\u0026rsquo;s prize for his moving works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExhibition: 27.4.-14.6.2017, Ilwoo Space, Seoul\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526192226568,"sku":"9783775742795","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775742795_66ca9c8e-ce9d-4c0b-b3b7-fa7484feb5be.jpg?v=1744096220","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/42199-han-sungpil","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
