Jungjin Lee’s photographs are an indelible experience. Mack is courageous in taking on the task of reproducing her large-scale, hand-made prints (from rice paper with applied emulsion). She is a seamless master in executing metaphorical imagery. Her work is not blasphemous, extroverted photographic pictorialism, but the work of a spirited, interior-working artist. Her books “Thing” and “Wind” were nice treats. Nice books, but a bit inferior to the resonating tonality and surface of her prints. Her exhibit at Aperture in 2011 was a transcendental experience. I had the pleasure of meeting her at the signing, where she gave an eloquent talk about place and spirituality. She is a soft-spoken photographer whose nature measures up to the quiet and poetic experience of her work. I’m faithful Mack will pull off a great representation of her photographs.
