The Lives of Others
Direction, graphic design for the publication, The Lives of Others in Korea, Finland and Japan.

The publication The Lives of Others which I directed, designed is composed of photographs documenting 2 places and 10 essays. In total, 17 different lives are presented to the reader via 12 different outlets in this book. The 17 artist participants all talk about their own or other people’s lives but for the reader, they all concern the lives of others. The reader can read the 12 chapters in order, or by random order and repeat the process of staying and leaving each chapter. But finally, when you exit the book–the moment you close it–you would be able to reflect on your own space and life, as the I had experienced. This publication is published in 2018 and exhibited at Factory2, Seoul.
