Hong Sungdo

Kim Won-Bang: 'Hong Sung Do uses photography as a main medium of his work, but he distinctively adds 'sculptural dimension' to it. It is noticeable that he makes a reader of the photograph not a passive interpreter of the mere 'record of a subject', but a dynamic 're-inventro'of tje photograph.'
