So-young Park portrays the Four Gracious Plants, par- ticularly bamboo and plum blossom, in such spatial output. Because bamboo and plum blossom belong to the Four Gracious Plants commonplace in tradi- tional Korean painting, So-young Park’s work can be seemingly construed as following the conventional meaning of bamboo or plum blossom emblematic of a virtuous person or moral ideal such as fidelity and filial piety. However, So-young Park expresses the image of bamboo and plum blossom not as an emblem of a virtuous man but as a metaphorical symbol of na- ture. Bamboo and plum blossom represent not only a familiar stuff that she can naturally encounter in everyday life but also a subject material that she rec- ognizes as an emblem of nature. Bamboo and plum blossom captured by So-young Park includes the place, time, and weather conditions surrounding her observation thereof. In this regard, they are also an accumulation of her experiences and memories. Such form of circular combination also looks like one bunch or several bunches of grapes. No matter how this appears, namely grape or other shape whatso- ever, it is unchangeable that this takes the form of circular accumulation to capture nature.

Mise-en-scene: Directing in Contemporary Art (Koo Kyunghwa)
In contemporary photography, moving image, and installation, cinematic composition has been used for exploring the everyday and the unconscious, for reinterpreting the histories of art and cinema, and in other diverse ways. Mise-en- scène is not a mere tool for conveying a story, however. In film theory, mise-en-scène usually refers to an unedited, single long take, in which various elements unfold, encouraging the viewer’s active interpretation. If works in this exhibition were cinematic films, they can all be considered single long takes and suggest possibilities of autonomous participation on the part of the viewer. This is in striking contrast with contem-porary commercial films that hypnotize viewers with their rapid editing. Moving-image works with purposely eliminated spoken lines can convey characters’ emotions and moods, transcending the limits of language, and photographic images can approach viewers as a kind of prototypical images, even if they do not know the source novels, pictures, photographs, or movies. The large-scale composed photographs in this exhibition, as they rely on viewers’ interpretative ability to read stories in them, in the end return to composition and iconography—the crucial aspects of classical art.
