Choi Bom's third solo exhibition will be held in Gallery Lux. 'Photographic Reconstruction 2: Pyramid' is an extended work of 'Photographic Reconstruction' series, exploring technical reproduction of photograph, variability of print size, and 'uniqueness' of photo collage. 

"The new works places in a boundary or cross linked point between duplicability of photographs and traditional artwork, and they are more picturesque.", Choi Bom said. 'Picturesque' is a concept created in Europe in late 18th century, and it means that depicting unusual scenery of nature or the wild like 'painting' according to a concept of 'travel' proliferation. Choi Bom selected 'picturesque' as a new motif and he went Monglia. The artist expressed Mongolian desert, grassland and night in pictorial photograph.
