Singer Lee Hyori took a camera on the last day of actor Um Tae Woong's exhibition. The exhibition, titled "The Air of Time," was quietly recorded by Lee Hyori with her gaze.
On April 30, Lee Hyori shared her visit to actor Um Tae Woong's exhibition "The Air of Time" through her social media.
On the last day of the exhibition, Lee Hyori captured the exhibition space and the artist Um Tae Woong through her lens, along with a short phrase, "Um Tae Woong Air of Time 4.30."
The released photos included warm pictures of her dog in a wooden frame, as well as Lee Hyori sitting side by side with artist Um Tae Woong, sharing a conversation. While some may see this scene as a meeting between an actor and a singer, it was closer to the interaction between an artist and an observer.
Um Tae Woong held a solo exhibition in Seoul from April 5 to 30, showcasing sensory and delicate photographs themed around "time." After a long time away from the public eye, he appeared not as an actor but as "artist Um Tae Woong," showing how to tell stories in a different language by capturing the gaps of daily life and memories in his photographs.
Lee Hyori took the camera herself and recorded the scenery through the glass window. The sight of the two sitting side by side on the exhibition chairs and having a conversation conveys a quiet yet deep empathy, like "air."
Um Tae Woong, who concluded the exhibition, and Lee Hyori, who captured that moment. The intersecting gazes of the two became a single scene, and that scene is now left within "The Air of Time."
