Adagio, Noonbit, S. Korea, 2000 copies

Adagio is a black and white photography book about childhood, published in Seoul, S.Korea.

‘When I met Mari’s first collection Adagio, I strongly felt the seriousness of the photographer looking at the object and the artist’s sense of embodying another world in the frame. She rarely sprawls her story freely across the two areas. It’s not an easy journey, but she won’t stop. In her second collection DOR, Mari is challenged by creating her own new frame. The black and white photos, which look calm, touch the viewer’s emotions like good old songs that are heard again. I can’t explain it, but it’s an unique emotion that I can feel.’ - Beylnam Yoo
