\n “Traces of Life: Seen Through Korean Eyes\, 1945-1992” ca ptures the details of Korean people's everyday lives between 1945 and 1992 . The exhibition features 27 photographs taken by the first generation of Korean realists\, thirteen pioneers whose works evoke nostalgia for a nati on in a radical transition from its past. Curator Chang Jae Lee describes the exhibition as a counterpoint to the turbulent history of this period i n Korea\, featuring 'exuberant visual diversity' and 'anthropologically im portant aspects of the nearly forgotten past.' Touching and expressive\, t he photographs show how people used their traditions and humanity to face a new world of independence\, industrialization\, development and complex political shifts. The exhibition offers a moving visual experience through which to understand and appreciate Korean history\, culture\, and the art s. The debut of this exhibition at The Korea Society in New York in Septem ber 2012 was the first time these black-and-white photographs had been exh ibited in the United States. This exhibition is presented by The Korea Soc iety and independent curator Chang Jae Lee with generous loans from the Do ng Gang Museum of Photography in Korea and the estates of Kim Kichan and L ee Hyungrok.
