좡쉐번(莊學本, 1909-1984)은 1930년대 중국 변경지역 소수민족을 기록한 사진가로, 모더니즘의 싹이 트던 당시 사진계의 흐름과 정반대의 길을 감으로써 중국 현대사진사에 한 획을 그었다. 그는 사진가이면서 인류학자였으며, 실제로 그의 사진은 중국 민족지(民族誌) 연구에 큰 시각적 자료를 제공했다. 무엇보다 그의 '인류학적' 사진에는 다른 서구 사진가들과는 비교할 수 없는 대상을 향한 공감과 진정성이 담겨 있다. 사진 속에 아름답게 남겨진 사람들의 활력있고 순수한 생활상은, 땅에 대한 경외심과 인간 존재의 근원적 가치를 되새기게 한다.

Gallery 1&2
Disappeared but Remained presents the work of three highly respected Korean photographers. Each demonstrates a deep understanding of the medium as a trace of a past - a past that has disappeared and yet remains as the individual’s living memories.
While many join the global trends, some Korean photographers have continued to pursue what they consider to be the essential characteristic of photography: the representation and preservation of reality. The photographers who joined this movement have focused on documenting disappearing moments, places or objects in the radical social change of South Korea’s rapid industrialization and westernization.
The three photographers in this exhibition understand the power of photography to document and testify to fading moments. Preserved in their photographs, these traces from the layers of a national history also remain in the personal memory and collective consciousness of Koreans today. As such, they capture the profound personal connection that objects and images can open with the past.
This exhibition was created especially for ACP by The Museum of Photography, Seoul to mark the Year of Friendship between Australia and the Republic of Korea.
