1. 9 1973 - 1974

Editor: This is Alistair Park's, 1. 9. It’s a gelatin silver print. The stark contrast creates a sense of isolation, and the cropped composition feels very intentional. What formal qualities strike you? Curator: The interplay of light and shadow certainly dominates. Note how Park uses the sharp division to create a fragmented visual plane. The brick wall provides a structured grid, contrasting with the organic drape of the sweater. Editor: So you're saying the composition is more about form than content? Curator: Precisely. Observe the materiality of the brick, the way it absorbs and reflects light. Does this add another layer of meaning? Editor: Perhaps, it makes me see value in the everyday, thanks for the insight. Curator: And I, in your youthful perspective.
