In Still, Kyungwoo Chun approaches photography not as an instrument for capturing decisive moments, but as a practice of empathy. The exhibition's title, Still, points to a situation of continuity: time that remains open, moments that resist resolution, and relationships that continue to develop rather than conclude.

Chun's work typically begins not with an image, but with a situation. He designs simple yet demanding performances, asking participants to carry one another, to lie still under layers molded by others, or to sing to forests and plants, and then lets time do the rest. Long exposure, extended duration, and repetition are central to his method. Rather than directing the outcomes, Chun waits for fatigue, imbalance, or resonance to emerge, allowing the image to form through sustained presence.

In works created in France, Korea, and India—such as The Weight—physical support replaces verbal communication as bodies negotiate balance and responsibility across cultural and linguistic boundaries. On the other hand, as in Nine Editors, identity is subtly destabilized when individuals inhabit garments that don't belong to them, remaining still long enough for authorship and self-presentation to blur. In more recent works, including Resonance and Song for Trees, Chun extends this approach to intergenerational and more-than-human relationships, accumulating time through the act of singing directed toward forests, plants, and memory itself.

Throughout these works, clarity is not a goal and is constantly delayed. The images remain soft, overlapping, and unresolved, recording not events but the accumulation of effort, trust, and attunement between bodies—human and otherwise. Photography moves away from simply recording action and becomes a trace of shared time.

In contrast to a visual culture driven by speed, precision, and instant legibility, Still invites viewers to slow down and remain. Through his characteristic process of staging, waiting, and duration, Chun proposes resistance and incompleteness as ethical positions—attentive to what continues to resonate when the resolution of an action is withheld.
