“A determination of intent comes from knowing where to rest. From determination comes tranquility. From tranquility comes ease. From ease comes deliberation. From deliberation comes attainment.” — The Great Learning Sansookyung (山水景) means “a landscape of mountains and water touched by light.” These images find beauty in the ordinary. Min transforms ordinary subjects into poetic black-and-white prints, captivating viewers with a magical allure. Rarely do we see a Korean photographer who, through a Western medium, reveals a path to the Eastern jingyeong—a true-view landscape. The deep gray tones between light and shadow evoke traditional East Asian ink paintings, resembling a visual poem. 2025 30.5 × 40.5 cm 80 pages Hardcover / Tritone UV printing / Hand binding * Printing by Munsung Printing * Hand Binding by Datz Books * The bookmaking process was carried out with exquisite craftsmanship by Datz Books. * This book was published with the support of 2025 ARKO Partners Visual Art.

Meet one of today’s finest photobook publishers! Datz Press from South Korea. All their books are little art works which transcend time and places. Few book makers return so much tranquility and serenity to their readers. If you’re tired about the loudness of the world, a green tea, your chosen comfy chair and a book from Datz are cure and remedy. Highly recommended!
