Magic by KangHee Kim Shanghai-based independent publisher "Same Paper" has launched Korean photographer KangHee Kim's first photography book "Magic" this Autumn, presents her latest project "Street Errands" from 2016. Once when KangHee was running errands on the street of New York, she somewhat hoped for exciting things to happen. Though things did not go as she wished, she realized that, instead of waiting for miracles, she could instead create the magical moments in her imagination. She started collaging scenes from her surroundings in Photoshop, creating surreal images that could impossibly happen. In order to provoke the audience's desire, Photoshop is widely used in commercial photography to refine the details and make the images look flawless. However, KangHee does not intend to cover the flaws in her photographs. Instead, she aims to achieve the perfection in her eyes by rediscovering the possibility of merging two images, finding their spark with her magic; she leaves traces of imperfection untouched intentionally in the process. KangHee takes a large number of photographs in her daily life. Making collages with different photographs is her newfound interest. Most of her images are taken in New York. Since she is unable to travel abroad due to the restriction of her VISA status, modifying or even demolishing the scenes in the original photographs is her approach to fulfill the desire for freedom. About photographer KangHee Kim She is a Korean born artist currently based in New York. She is born in 1991. She graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art with a degree in Painting.

【新入荷・新本】

Ren Hang『Food Issue: Second edition』（Same Paper、2015年）

価格：7,776円（税込み）完売しました。再入荷の予定はございません。

※写真はファーストエディションのもののため、今回のセカンドエディションとは仕様が若干異なります。

中国・上海のアーティストブックスタジオSame Paperと任航（レン・ハン）が共同制作した写真集。

撮影時にアーティスト自身の足が写り込んでしまった偶発的な写真や男性モデルに食べ物を足で渡す瞬間の未発表写真を元に編集。「Food（食べ物）」と「Foot（足）」の偶然の写真集。写真集全体を覆うユーモアとナンセンスは任航本人の性格を如実に反映しているといえます。  

「Food Issue」というコンセプトに呼応して写真集が青色のテーブルクロスで包まれており、一部の写真はステッカーとして挟み込まれています（検閲をかいくぐるかのように）。コンセプトとユーモアが見事に合致した作品。セカンドエディション。300部限定。
