Kang Hongku is the photographer whose digital photographs depict landscapes of Korean society with his renowned patched photographic images style. He often creates surreal images by overlaying images on top of the images that he took from mass media such as advertisement and film stills. His works are not that of painted but that of readily available images consequently emphasizing the lightless and temporality of characteristics of digital photographs. We can find his defiance against art history and the society itself through his photographs. Recent development in his work can be characterized that he departed from his renowned Photoshop-ed or dramatized photographs and moved to direct-shoot photographs in order to depict more realistic landscapes while continues to dealing with dark side of the reality in the society. “Osoeri Landscapes Series (2004)” that deals with redevelopment area and “Eunpyung New Town Chronicle (2009)”, which is the reconstruction of digitally captured redevelopment process of Eunpyung district after the district was selected for New Town Project are more of documenting the memory and nostalgia of fleeting or already faded mundane lives that already penetrated his life instead of making his audience to confront social issues the subjects convey.
