Living absence

Mayumi Terada is an artist who shows the unique essential characteristics of photography through black-and-white silver salt photography in the current era when her passion for digital photography is in full swing. After majoring in sculpture, she is an artist with a unique background who expanded her motives and methodological experiments into photography, but she is the first artist to be introduced in Korea through this exhibition.
After making miniatures out of cardboard, Styrofoam, and plaster, he took black and white photos of the natural light that changes over time and the resulting shadows and changes in the shape of objects. The result consists of a single photograph or a series of photographs. From the work of making miniatures to the work of observing the movement of light shining on a miniature over time and capturing a moment. Mayumi's black and white photos are more appropriately described as 'capturing a slow and slow moment' rather than a picture of a fleeting moment.
Even though she has an artistic background other than photography, Mayumi, who works on black-and-white silver salt photography, which can be said to be the essence of photography, adheres to the formula of 'photography = painting of light' very thoroughly, perhaps because of that influence. His works, composed of diptic and polyptic, were shot in the same scene and at the same point of view, but capture the difference in light and shade, the change of light and shadow, and the transformation of the atmosphere, fixing the viewer's gaze on the object of 'light' above all else.
