TITLE: 누정樓亭 Korean Pavilions
Imbued with ancient scholars' elegance and style, nujeongwere places they used for managing self-discipline and communing with nature. Ancient scholars constructed pavilions in areas of scenic beauty to enjoy the beauty of nature, compose poems, and give lectures to junior students. Nujeongprovided a location for scholars' cultural exchanges, interactions, and communication in which they could discuss current events and express their political views, indignation, and frus-trations. Photographer Kim ShimHoon reveals the decent, upright lives of ancient scholars as well as the spirit ingrained in pavilions through his moderate black-and-white photographs.
This structure was an architectural space bathed in the traditional Korean emotion of becoming one with nature: one adapts himself to nature, communing with it. As a Korean pavilion was usu-ally built to appreciate the outdoor landscape rather than to enjoy its use as an architectural struc-ture, its location and surrounding scenery were considered more important than having a showy appearance. As a result, each pavilion was settled in a location without spoiling the surrounding landscape or being too conspicuous by naturally seeking coexistence with the area around it. He aimed to reveal Korean emotions and the essence of Korean architectural aesthetics.
Nujeongprovided a forum for scholars' cultural, political, and academic exchanges and interac-tions. As literary men visited and stayed in pavilions where they carried out their cultural exchanges, poetry and prose was developed and the poetry and literary scene was created. nujeong litera-ture樓亭文學,was created in this context. It includes literary works that portray the landscapes around a pavilion, works that describe the beauty of nature. A poem composed in a pavilion was made into a hanging board and hung within it.

My name is Kim Sim Hoon.
Born in Yeoju in 1959, he is based in his hometown.
I have a stubbornness that doesn't easily follow fashion. Throw away handy digital photos
I prefer to work with complex, sluggish analog 4X5large black and white films.
I like new and novelties. I have a strong desire to know what I do not know.
If you think it's worth the challenge, don't hesitate to look for something old.
My excitement about pavilion and sperm is felt in the photograph.
My patience with photography is extraordinary.
If you're not satisfied, there's the patience to look for and find the end.
Looking back at the spring and winter,
If you don't like it, change the sun and find it again.
“Would it be a needle someday if you go without stopping?”
The sword of the mind is sharpened by the mirror of the two hundred.
The same is true for darkroom work.
According to the record, there were more than 1,700 sperm
There are currently 270 registered cultural properties and 300 unregistered cultural properties.
It is said to remain. The filming began in 2008 and has taken 300 sperm across the country.
I'm not a full-time writer, but I want to record sperm with records.
My current job is to continue my career with a large truck
