My main purpose of this program is to present my works to the local people in Berlin. For this program, I will show my current photo project which capturing the past and present of Berlin's airports focused on the theme of memories of a city, as well as show previous works in Germany for the first time. This opportunity to show my work at Kunstraum Bethanien, a cultural facility with historical importance, is of great importance to a young artist as me. Given that my work focuses on the city of Berlin, I look forward to feedback especially from the local art community.
With exhibition of the previously unseen new work "Three Airports in Berlin" (tentative title) as the final objective, I will spend three months on preparations, including framing and producing large prints for exhibition. I will also hold open studio events twice in May to present my previous work to the local art community. During the program, I will move ahead with my current work by continuing research for a photographic project on three generations of immigrants. At the same time, I will produce a small project by focusing on the value of Kunstraum Bethanien as a historical building by taking photographs every day.
