Surrounded by many historic monuments, Bukchon is an area
located in the centre of Seoul, the capital city of Korea. The
documentary photographer, Moogy Seungwoo Kim set Bukchon as
the first location for his long term project, “project Chon.” It is a
project he started on 2013, in a wish that indifference between
people would fade through his photographs.

The photographs in his project, “Bukchon" shows the beautiful
scenery and the people in Bukchon. The photographs were taken
for three months in Bukchon, and exhibited in the gallery located
in the location. He wants to share his view of disconnection
between people. In his photographs, he focuses on emptiness
people are facing today as if the subjects are wandering about in
the city lost in coexistence. He managed himself to capture
subjects in the frame that seemed indifferent to each other,
meanwhile composed backgrounds utilizing complex lines to give
an impression that as if the subjects were lost in the village.
