C. Han Sungpil

"Nuages"

published at 08/08/2018
Ground cloud © H. Sungpil
The young Korean photographer and producer of moving images Han Sungpil mainly creates using photography, installations and videos to examine environmental questions and give thought to originalities and relationships between reality and representation.
The artist is interested in the different cultures he comes across and seeks to understand them in-depth. Eager to explore all kinds of landscapes, he sets off in discovery more of nature than of our everyday environment.
His works invite viewers to ponder a whole host of philosophical questions. He creates participatory works that interact with the public through processes that are both poetic and enjoyable. Some of his installations are virtual, surreal works in their own right.
The sensitivity with which Han Sungpil infuses his work often shows a sense of humour, all the while incorporating sublime aspects of beauty.
 
The artist is fascinated by clouds - all clouds - even peculiar-shaped ones that Man fashions himself.
He produced this series during a residency in September 2015 at Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, as part of the Odyssée programme.
