The Unjoy of Learning

The artwork features a series of scenes starting with the Paju factory complex where the books are produced, followed by a French professor reading Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" in a university lecture room, and finally, a view of the forest landscape. The book binds together three types of images under a circular structure. Alongside the images, the narration shares an anecdote about the photographer Jang Kook-hyun, who has a history of cutting old pine trees to capture them in his photographs while also bringing visibility to Korean old pine trees worldwide.
