An Unfamiliar and Curious Farm-village

Park Pyung-jong(Aesthetics, Photo criticism)

 

The photo collection <Farm Village Special Song> by Kim Chun-sik, a photographer in the age more over seventy old contains the figures of farmers and farm villages in all parts of the country with interesting viewpoint. There are the typical figures possible to meet them easy from woman to work in the field to man to carry A-frame on his back, farmer to take a break on the levee of a rice paddy, etc. Also, there are the landscapes in daily life and the roads in the small-town possible to be searched for in every places of farm village.

 

If we refer to his long career to act as a amateur photographer from the time to work as a teacher in Jeonju, Jeonbuk, the farm village landscapes to appear in his work are surely familiar to him. It is because the regions like Gunsan, Buan, Wanju, Jinan, Imsil, etc. to become the background of photos are not distant from his zone of life. As observing the farm village regions for a long time, he has seen a figure of the farm village society being destroyed in the course of being modernized quickly from the 1960s. The <Farm Village Special Song> can be what is called a bittersweet report on the present conditions in Korean farm village to result from the course. Only old people remain in the farm village like the <Farm Village Special Song> shows it. It is because young people departed into the city not doing the farm work with hard and low production. A maxim 'agriculture is the foundation of a nation' not only is become a ill-smelling old saying but also is not believed in by anyone. His expression in photo note 'the farm village is short of the labor and increases the rest arable land to let it alone owing to the capital logic and becomes a abolition village owing to many vacant houses' is true. This phenomenon is not a situation lately but is become an old-fashioned recognition same as an old story. But, we cannot look on the present conditions with indifference. I can guess easily the reason why he is devoted to the <Farm Village Special Song> as a person who knows well this phenomenon. 'The times lost one's hometown, the farm village without one's mental household', this is his actual recognition on a farm village. The present phenomenon on a farm village is not able to be approached only with superficial viewpoint like the difference between rich and poor and city and country and the old phenomenon in a farm village.

 

Now, the farm village stops to be the foundation of a nation and becomes a common strange town. It is the place where dries up the possibility because of remaining only the old people and women, is the barren land to increase the rest arable land and the abolished houses and is closed on opening the adult amusement room because of being not able to do self-management in the center of small-town region. The farm village falls behind in the spirit and culture as well as material. There were many symbols of anti-Communist ideology in all parts of a village. The posters like "Report the spies and left-wing illegal acts to 113" or "Pay 30 million won in spy report/Pay 50 million won in spy-ship report" were pasted in the spotlight places even some time ago.

 

He juxtaposes the positive picture and the negative picture or puts partially color in the white-black photo due to making use of the photoshop for focusing on the unfamiliarity on an actual farm village. The figure of woman to work in the field is a natural present conditions by appearances but is a queerness of our modern history to be transformed the farm village into a irregular region in the other side. Maybe, the reason why he juxtaposes reversely the common figures of farmer into the negative pictures seems to intend for strengthening this unfamiliarity. The reason why he puts partially color in all parts of a farm village after treating it with white and black is also same. Red traffic signs in the way of quiet field landscape, autos with strong red to stand in the front of fast food restaurant or words like 'Rotto' or Lent' to paint with red on the advertisement board of adult amusement room are the modernized symbols to invade into a quiet and calm farm village as an outlaw. That will degenerate our farm village by degrees. Our farm village to see through Kim Chun-sik's eyes, a photographer, is such an unfamiliar and curious figure. It is the reason why he seize continually his step in the farm village due to the remorse on these, isn't it?
