Have you ever wondered how certain places looked like decades ago?
South Korean artist Sungseok Ahn’s series entitled “HISTORICAL PRESENT” questions the memory of past from the fast changing scenery of today. By overlapping a historical location with an old image of that exact place, he questions the way we treat our history and explores the dynamics between space and time at the same time.
Sungseok Ahn was born in Suwoon in 1985. He was graduated at Photography and Visual Media Department of Sangmyung University in 2010.
