Seulgi, the multi-talented crooner of K-pop industry, gears up to exhibit her creative insights through her photography.
Seoul: The well established K-pop group, Red velvet’s member Seulgi is set to unveil a new unseen side of herself through her first-ever film photography exhibition, titled “Nothing Special But Special”. The event is being organized in WWL Studio situated in Seodaemun district of Seoul, South Korea. This highly anticipated exhibition held from 13 October till 20 October 2024, offers fans and photography enthusiasts snapshots into Seulgi’s creative insights.
The exhibition, fostering the theme of “Ordinary but special”, appeals to the visitors to feel the specialness concealed in ordinary aspects of life. Organized by ALLCAMERA & FILM, the exhibition is designed to showcase the beauty found in ordinary everyday moments through the lens of film photography, a medium cherished from the bottom of Seulgi’s heart. Loved for her ethereal presence on stage as a member of girl group Red Velvet, Seulgi attempts to reveal a new, different facet of her personality that is more grounded in simplicity and authenticity.
Seulgi’s passion for film photography has long been known and witnessed in her analog photos posted on her social media. The exhibition is more like a collection of her cherished moments of ordinary life that allows visitors to experience her own unique perspective on life, feeling something special even in ordinary things. The singer has been long passionate about film photography, leading her to exhibit her own very-first exhibition highlighting her “analog sensibility” in a deeply personal and artistic manner.
Capturing moments of stillness, reflection, beauty in ordinary, ‘Nothing Special But Special’ will feature a diverse catalog of photographs taken by Seulgi herself over the years. Additionally, some intimate images of Seulgi taken by the renowned photographer Rie, will also be exhibited alongside. Rie is known for her ability to capture the essence of her subject in a more raw and authentic manner. She has collaborated with various high-profile musicians before. Her collaboration with Selgui, blends Seulgi’s personal artistry with outsider’s gaze adding another layer of depth to the exhibition.
The organizers, ALLCAMERA & FILM expressed their excitement over the project. “We’re investing a lot of effort into organizing an exhibition capturing Seulgi’s unseen daily life and thoughts away from her glamorous stage presence as a member of Red Velvet”, cited a representative of the organizers. “We hope visitors can discover the specialness in everyday life through Seulgi’s warm and honest perspective”, he added further.
The statement underlines the exhibition’s intent rooted in the quieter and more introspective aspects of artist’s life, depicting a contrasting perspective of the vibrant and glamourous persona she exhibits on stage. Through her photographs, the artist appeals to the visitors to see the world through her eye lens, to find beauty in the mundane and to appreciate the specialness often left unnoticed in ordinary moments of life.
The exhibition offers a rare opportunity for fans and photography lovers to connect with the artist on a more personal level, revealing her artistic side that finds joy and meaning in the simple act of capturing ordinary moments on film. The photographs are expected to resonate with visitors who enjoy and appreciate the art of analog photography.
Interested visitors will be able to book their tickets for the “Nothing Special But Special” exhibition available through Naver. Additional details concerning the exhibition will be announced on the official social media accounts of the artist and the Instagram page specifically dedicated to the exhibition.
As the excitement surrounding the exhibition continues to grow, it ignites many speculations regarding its theme and images that will be displayed. As the visitors step into the exhibition venue they will feel themselves slowing down, immersed into the stillness and specialness exhibited through photographs.
