Rangsik Choi Photo Gallery

I was born in 1961 in Uiseong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and completed the coursework for a Ph.D. in German Literature at Kyungpook National University.

My photographic work explores memory and place, traces of time, and the relationship between humans and nature. With a documentary approach, I pursue long-term projects that reflect on the passage of time and the ways in which human experiences become embedded in landscapes.

I am particularly interested in the materiality of photography and its relationship with time. Through alternative photographic processes, including platinum and palladium printing, I explore how the physical qualities of a photographic image can embody memory and the passage of time.

My ongoing series, *Becoming Forest*, reflects on memory, loss, and existence within the cycles of nature. Through this work, I seek to understand how human life and the natural world are connected through processes of change, disappearance, and renewal.

I also serve as an editor of *Photo Times Korea*, a photography journal where I introduce photographers, exhibitions, photobooks, and discussions on contemporary visual culture from Korea and around the world.

I am a member of the Society of Modern Photography & Video.
