When I was in Jeju Island I found a road sign of the memorial stone of the 'April 3 Incident' pointing to a place where there was no road in the forest next to the farming field. Why blood is red? is an emotional landscape made near the sites of the ‘April 3 Incident’ a tragic event during the US military rule which records the second most severe loss of life after the Korean War in modern history of Korea.

The work was made as a response to the brief given at the artist residency amongst 8 selected artists from Revel’T Contemporary Analog Photography Festival in Barcelona. The ‘≈33.244888888 / 126.57097222 정방폭포’ has been selected as the title image for the collective exhibition at the Revela’T 2023 Edition.

Special thanks to the team at Revela’T & Jongman Lee.
