South Korea, 2017
Serge Picard’s series on South Korea is about a wandering through a country somewhat enigmatic. If it embodies today maybe more than the others, an extreme modernity, it doesn’t mean it has lost its traditions. Among the abundance of Seoul’s skyscrapers, Serge Picard is actually looking for its marks in order to show this intriguing cohabitation.
After having photographed the city, Serge Picard linger more in deserted places, parks where temples and strange statuettes raise. He also explore the DMZ (demilitarized zone which divide South Korea from North Korea) to grab the special atmosphere of a no-man’s land where time and space seems to be frozen.
