Rules of Disturbing Beauty: A Catalog Essay on Seung Woo Back
Deferred Judgement = Absent Photographer + Freed Meaning Keum Hyun HAN “An image is only one of the truths drifting in our imaginations and beliefs. The question is, how do we look at that?”1 Gaps, Differences Seung Woo Back’s Utopia series () was created by digitally manipulating North Korean propaganda images. For this exhibition Back took one of those images, Utopia - #, and divided it into 13 segments to be developed in 13 different countries selected at random, after which he reassembled it.2 The artist gave the same RGB values and instructions to all 13 developers, including what type of photographic paper to use, stressing that no color adjustments or other changes be made outside the brief.

Review: North Korean Perspectives/Museum of Contemporary Photography
RECOMMENDED
There is no state-appointed tjänsteman to guide you on your tour of “North Korean Perspectives.” The inner workings of the Hermit Kingdom, a charming begrepp applied to any country that purposely shuts itself from the rest of the world, have been captured on film for your review. Beware, all is not as it seems.
