I am deeply, deeply honoured to be recognised as the awardee for the IPE 165 Under 30s by the RPS (@royalphotographicsociety ) for my work 'What a death made us do’ that I made when I was at Goldsmiths (@goldsmithsart ). This project is profoundly meaningful to me, holding a special place in my heart as the most cherished amongst all my endeavours. It authentically reflects joy and sorrow, capturing genuine emotions throughout its two-year journey. I have a deep affection for it, and express sincere gratitude to my family, friends, and everyone who supported, encouraged, and helped me bring this project to completion. Thank you to the juries for your selection and for making this dream come true. Lastly, I am sincerely grateful to my beloved grandmother, who embarked on this journey with me and who will forever be remembered. IPE 165 Exhibition will be held in February 2024 at the RPS Gallery in Bristol. More info in my bio.

Juno Seunghui Joo (@junojou ) — ‘What a Death Made Us Do’ Very pleased to introduce photographer Juno Seunghui Joo, whose work will be featured in FOUND’s upcoming publication! About the Photos: Everyone carries a house. My home is not geographical. It is where my family gathers, where my body feels at ease, where longing quietly accumulates. When I was young, my grandmother would call me. Although I stood in one physical place, my sense of home travelled through the telephone with her voice. She was the centre that brought our family together and held that space intact. ‘What a Death Made Us Do’ began after her passing in 2022. The project explores how death unsettles the emotional architecture we call home. Drawing from Korean rituals surrounding death, I use photographic tableau to subtly re-stage moments that blur the boundary between life and afterlife. Rather than depicting grief directly, the work reflects on how the living reorganise themselves after loss, and how home must be rebuilt when its centre disappears. - ジュノ・スンヒ・ジュー — 『死が私たちにさせたこと』 写真家 ジュノ・スンヒ・ジュー をご紹介できることを大変嬉しく思います。彼の作品は、FOUND の次号に掲載予定です。 作品について： 誰もがそれぞれの「家」を心の中に抱えています。 私にとっての家は、地理的な場所ではありません。家族が集まり、身体が安らぎ、静かに想いが積み重なっていく場所です。 幼い頃、祖母はよく私に電話をかけてくれました。私は一つの場所に立っていながら、祖母の声とともに「家」の感覚は電話線を通って遠くまで広がっていきました。祖母は家族をひとつに結びつけ、その場所を保ち続けてくれる中心の存在でした。 この作品は、2022年に祖母が亡くなった後に始まったプロジェクトです。本作では、死が私たちの「家」と呼ばれる感情的な構造をどのように揺るがすのかを探っています。韓国の死にまつわる儀礼から着想を得て、演出された写真の場面を用いながら、生と死後の境界が曖昧になる瞬間を静かに再構成しています。 悲しみを直接描くのではなく、この作品は、喪失のあとに残された人々がどのように関係や生活を組み直していくのか、そして中心を失ったときに「家」がどのように再び築かれていくのかを見つめています。 - #FOUND #publication #photobook #uk #japan
