Exposición del Studio Ghibli – 스튜디오 지브리 입체조형전

I wanted to share some photos from the Studio Ghibli Exhibit in Seoul. As a fan of the Ghibli movies I had to go and enjoy the different sets from movies like Spirited away, My neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke or Howl’s Moving Castle.

I met the Photographer Inki Kang at his photography studio in Gangnam. He was with his, now, wife, the French designer Sandra Meynier (first interviewed person in the Q&A in Seoul project).  In his former background you can find Science Studies before he decided to go for Design. At some point, he found out what he really enjoyed and opened the studio BONE with his colleagues. In Sandra’s opinion, you can still see his scientific mind in his photographs if you take a closer look of his style.

Again, as it happened when Alex Finch did the interview, I was very curious about what a photographer would say about his career. I liked this answer the most: my goal is to do what I want. It’s not easy to live doing what you enjoy as a job, but I think it’s something we must try to achieve. Also, I have to say that it was interesting to take photos of a photographer in his own studio. So much pressure!

What do you do?

What do you aim for?

My goal is do what I want in my whole life

Disadvantages and difficulties in your profession

I don’t feel any disadvantages in my profession. Photography is my hobby, I never feel as a job.

Who or what inspires you?

My wife (ndlr: Sandra Meynier Kang) I watch a lot of videos, movies, I got inspired when I travel; I melt down and fill myself with all the mood.

Why are you in Seoul?

Since I was born and raised in here; I think someone should represent his roots. I am still at evelopping stage of myself; I didn’t grab the good chance to go abroad.

Favorite book, film and music

ASIMOV – «They holy mountain» Alexandro Todorowsky

These days, I am falling into classical music, this music I can share with my father.

Favorite place in Seoul

Home.

What do you think you will be doing in one year?

Do more jobs; try new experiments, I wish I could do more videos, non personal works.

I wish to learn how to manage and express my emotions.

A person who deserves recognition for his/her work

10 things to do in Suwon, Korea 

10 cosas que hacer en Suwon

 

¿Qué ver/hacer en Suwon?

Hace un par de semanas, aproveché para visitar esta ciudad cercana a Seúl. Es muy fácil ir desde la capital: o bien utilizas la línea de metro que llega hasta Suwon o coges el autobús directo 5107 desde la Estación de Seúl (Seoul Station). En el último caso, la parada de autobús está fuera de la estación.

I was truly amazed with this area in Suwon. I enjoyed a lot jumping around and finding new paintings everywhere around Haenggung-dong. To finish the afternoon with art, you should visit the Space noon and bom cafes :)

If Julian Quintart was the main character a couple of Q&A in Seoul interviews ago, let me introduce you this time the other half of Pute Deluxe: Yann Cavaillé.

It was really interesting to meet him outside, in the morning, when he’s not working. He’s a really easygoing person, I guess that can be really helpful with his work. What does he do? Well, what he doesn’t do?

After a hangover lunch in a Thai restaurant, we sat in a really nice cafe in Itaewon and this is what he said/wrote about himself:
