Arranging Life

Seongyeon Jo investigated and analyzed the process of growth and extinction of seeds for a long time with attitude of a botanist, since she began to experience the life as an urban farmer a few years ago. Jo has worked on sophisticated and static photography by expanding the viewpoint, noticing the order in nature and materiality as she has cultivated her own crops. The abandoned and dead things gained new breath and are reborn as the book ‘Arranging Life’. This book carries the result of her meditated observations, the artist’s embracing of the process of life, perceiving the birth and extinction of nature as one. This special edition of 60 copies include the artist’s signature and a original print.
