When the Spring Wind Blows — Han Youngsoo — Hansgraphic — 2020

Women occupy the centre of Han Youngsoo's photographs of Seoul between 1956 and 1963. He finds them at work, in public spaces and amid the changing styles of a city recovering from war. When the Spring Wind Blows brings these pictures together without turning their subjects into a single image of progress. Their clothes, gestures and ways of claiming space tell a more precise story of modern Korean life, seen through individual moments rather than a general account of the period.
