Kim Ki-Chan Exhibit

Saturday May 22, 2010

Today I met my friend to see the Kim Ki Chan exhibit at the Seoul History Museum. This exhibit showcased his photos taken of the street lives of Seoul residents from the 70's-90's. When you see the photos and then walk outside the museum you feel how dynamically Korea has changed and at such a rapid pace at that.

For better or worse there are very few traces of Kim Ki Chan's Seoul in the Seoul you see today. The photos were a nice glimpse of the Korea I never got to experience. The Seoul of my parents' time...
