Hyosun Cho
Sixty years of travelling with a camera — the land, the people who live on it, and the small fixtures they leave behind. An archive still being added to.
001 — On the work
I have never wanted the famous view. I want the road just before it, the face that turns at the wrong moment, the latch on a door that has been opened ten thousand times. A place is its small things.

Frames
A handful pulled from the last few years on the road — a longer cut waits inside each place below.
The Atlas
Six places she keeps returning to. Open one to walk its archive.
002 — Studio
Hyosun Cho was born in Seoul in 1947 and turns eighty this year. For six decades she has travelled with a camera — across some forty countries — photographing the land, the people who live on it, and the small fixtures they leave behind. She still develops her own film.
Based in Seoul, on the road most of the year. Prints made by hand; commissions and exhibition loans by enquiry.
