[사람 없는 초상] 30년 된 수리점 작업대

A portrait of a person made without the person: the workbench of an electronics repair shop in an old Korean electronics market, run by the same man for thirty years. A magnifier lamp on an arm, a soldering iron resting in its stand with a thin wisp of smoke, a radio with its back panel open and a multimeter clipped to it, a wall of small parts drawers with blank labels, a stool with a cushion taped together, a mug of instant coffee, reading glasses on a pile of circuit boards. Every tool hangs on its own outlined spot on a pegboard. Warm lamp light against a dim shop. No people, no text, no letters, no logos.
