[사람 없는 초상] 산불 감시초소

A portrait of a person made without the person: inside a tiny forest fire lookout hut on a Korean mountain peak in early autumn. A window wall wrapping around the room, a pair of binoculars on the sill, a two-way radio, a plain unlabelled topographic map pinned on a board with a compass on top, a thermos, a calendar with blank days crossed off, a camp bed made tight. Through the windows, endless ridges of mountains fading into blue haze; the hut interior occupies only the bottom third of the frame. No people, no text, no letters, no logos.
