Jejudo, South Korea’s largest island, is marked by the tragic April 3 Incident (1948–1949), a period of extreme violence when the Korean government forces massacred innocent civilians in a brutal suppression of a local uprising. This dark chapter in Jeju’s history made a deep impression on Park Hyung-Geun (KR), who learned that many of today’s tourist sites were once scenes of mass killings. His fascination with the landscape takes us from rugged natural scenes to abandoned buildings that serve as reminders of the island’s often unacknowledged histories and its ongoing transformation. His photographs reveal spaces that were once populated, prompting the viewer to reflect on the countless people who vanished. With essays by Elisa Medde and Nayun Jang. Jejudo is co-published with Vostok Press, and part of Layers of Memories.
