While Yum's photographs are taken in diverse locations ranging from Korea to France, the specifics surrounding the taking of the image are inconsequential to Yum as he intentionally approaches his subjects from the viewpoint of a detached outsider. As seen in this image of an outdoor boxing match, he photographs from a distance to underscore his detached attitude and creates a fragmented composition to give us the impression of a spontaneous shot. Yum earned an MFA from the University of Paris VIII and his works have been shown in Asia and Europe. He currently lives and works in Seoul.

Number 3 from the sold-out edition of 3.
