Jungho Jung
Jung Jungho (b. 1981) studied journalism and photography.
He has been reproducing the aesthetic forms of nature, by capturing the subtle energy hidden within and recording the flow of life through photography. He also presents, in the form of archive photographs, the bare face and structure of the city exposed through local development and changes. Recently, he has been interested in local myths and folklore and expresses how their beliefs manifest and function in the current society through various media such as photography, video, and objects.

He has held solo exhibitions of Magnolia (BMW Photo Space, Busan, 2022), Budha and Magohalmi (Cheongju Art Studio, Cheongju, 2022), The Great Vortex Between Donghak and Avatamsark (Zaha Museum, Seoul, 2023), Printed World (Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, 2022), Conservator C’s Day (National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Cheongju, 2020), and SeMA New Collection Multi-Access 4913 (Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, 2019), among others.

He was a residency artist at Kunstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral (Bad Ems, Germany, 2023), National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Goyang Residency (Goyang, Korea, 2023), and Seoul Art Space Geumcheon (Seoul, Korea, 2024). He was selected as 'SKOPF Artist of the Year' by KT&G Sangsangmadang (2018) and 'Global Campaigner' by Leica Camera (2020). His photobook 'Tools of the Master' was awarded 'The Most Beautiful Book in Korea 2022' by the Korean Publishers Association. His work is in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Goeun Museum of Photography, KT&G Sangsangmadang, Seoul Metropolitan Government Museum of Art, JTBC, Australian Center for Contemporary Photography, and many other institutions.
