In The Intimacy of Making Swiss French photographer Helene Binet
takes us on a visual journey through a world of stone, walls and
gardens that define and celebrate the Korean art of making. In pure
and calm photographs we discover traditional Korean architecture
through a Western lens. The purity of the motifs sharpens one's eye
for the often-overlooked beauty and harmony in our own environment
and history, as well as for the care of craft and composition. This
book is a reminder against our often fleeting and careless
perceptions. In her photographs, which were taken over the course
of the last three years, Binet looks at three typologies of
traditional architecture in Korea: the Confucian school and sacred
place Byeong- san Sewon; garden and tea house Soswaewon; and the
Jongmyo Shrine. Her camera combines both the nature and the built
structures and reveals the soul of the three sites. The
photographic essays are accompanied by two texts: Korean architect,
Byoung Soo Cho, offers insight into the cultural and architectural
history, while art and design critic and teacher, Eugenie Shinkle,
focuses on the "making."
