Artist Talk by Enoch Ku (Free to everyone)
In a world saturated with curated perfection and idealized moments, Enoch Ku’s photography takes a step back from digital romanticism, offering a fresh, reflective response. Drawing on the spirit of 19th-century realism while engaging with the complexities of both postmodernism and metamodernism, Enoch’s work examines the tension between cynicism and sincerity in modern life. His photographs invite viewers to find beauty not in the extraordinary, but in the mundane moments we often overlook.
In this talk, Enoch will explore the philosophical underpinnings of his work—how it intersects with postmodern skepticism and metamodern optimism—and the quiet power of authenticity in an increasingly curated world. He’ll also delve into how his Korean American identity has shaped his perspective and photography as both with an insider’s experience and an outsider’s reflection.
