Subverting Social Norms About Women: PARK Youngsook

PARK Youngsook (age 84) is a pioneering photographer who carved out a new realm in “feminist photography.” She began her photographic work in the 1960s and gained attention in 1966 by holding the first solo exhibition by a female photographer in Korea. Park has continually explored the expressive potential of photography as a medium, using it to question the female body and selfhood that have long been oppressed or excluded in a patriarchal society.
