Description
Book Introduction
Yoon Kwang-jun's new works, "Life's Luxury Goods" and "Aesthetic Class"
Where and how can we encounter the true nature of beauty?
“Space isn’t something to be seen, it’s something to be experienced.”
Photographer Gwangjun Yoon's book on space, "Spaces I Loved," has been published, delicately interpreting spaces that are a collection of beauty from a humanistic and aesthetic perspective.
Artist Gwangjun Yoon, who is active in all areas of art, including photography, fine art, music, design, and architecture, is also an art worker who makes art more accessible to the public.
If in his previous work, "Aesthetic Class," he talked about what beauty is, in his new work, "Spaces I Love," he talks specifically about where and how to experience the true nature of that beauty.
Furthermore, by examining the space from various angles through the broad perspective of an art worker encompassing all artistic fields, it presents a unique landscape and charm of the space, as well as a new perspective on the space, that has not been discovered by experts in a single field such as architects or designers.

Into the book
Twenty locations were selected in this way.
Since the places I like are the standard, there can be no representativeness of the places selected.
But that's okay.
Because no matter who does it, it will be impossible to create an objective standard that will satisfy everyone.
I thought it would be a good place to look back on the present state of Korea.
If I had to choose my own selection criteria, publicness would be the top priority.
No matter how wonderful or meaningful it is, you can't go into a locked place.
It was limited to places open to the public, from private gardens to cafes, corporate and institutional facilities, and state-run art museums.
The story of each place or space is also important.
Because the scope of empathy will increase when you know the creator's intention and process rather than the revealed appearance.
We also included places that have a unique beauty.
It is a place that is connected to our daily lives.
If each person's experience in these spaces becomes richer, the role of selection will have been fulfilled.
--- p.12, from the "Preface"
Noksapyeong Station remains a unique station because of the paradox of its process.
A desolate and beautiful station with a sad story.
This is how a huge underground space reaching a depth of 35 meters was created.
The cylindrical design with an empty interior allows light to enter through the ceiling.
It is the only subway station in Korea with a dome-shaped atrium.
The uniqueness and beauty of Noksapyeong Station comes from the effect of light pouring down from the sky.
The angle of light, which changes from moment to moment depending on the sun's altitude, moves the shadows inside the room.
It seems like every moment brings a new impression.
On a clear day, the movement of shadows reflected on the windows inside the station is interesting.
Long and short shadows are cast along the walls of the underground space.
The liveliness of the space created by light is beyond expectations.
Standing on the second floor railing and watching the moving shadows makes you realize that the Earth is spinning at a very fast speed.
--- p.28~29, from “Line 6 Noksapyeong Station”
The bathroom is where relationships are naturally cut off.
There are times when you suddenly come face to face with yourself.
It's time to look at my face reflected in a large mirror alone.
Only then does an objective view of oneself come into view.
A lot of thoughts come to mind at that moment.
I'm squatting down and doing my thing.
The only thing you can do when you're defenseless is to just sit there blankly.
A brilliant idea might come to you.
Otherwise, all you can do is read a book or magazine or look at your smartphone.
You may suddenly become curious about the scenery outside the bathroom.
What is important is the spectacle unfolding from the height of the eye.
Depending on what you look at, the time you spend in the bathroom will feel different.
--- p.69, from “My Toilet Pilgrimage”
B39 focuses on the interior facilities rather than the building's exterior.
All we can see is the structures or spaces left behind within the walls that are sealed off from the outside world.
Normally, I wouldn't have stayed in a place like this for long.
But there is no one here.
Just being alone makes you stay for a long time.
It is the moment when you finally have a face-to-face encounter with a large space.
It's surprising, disconcerting, and even frightening.
It feels like we are inside an imaginary cube where everyday time seems to have stopped.
Empty space and idle time are an exquisite harmony.
Space is not something to be seen, but something to be experienced within it.
--- p.219, from “Bucheon Art Bunker B39”
Emotional responses vary depending on the space you are in.
It's not just the visible factors like big and wide that come into play.
It has an impact on the traces of time, the color of the paint, the feeling of light, the grass and trees planted in each element, and even the smell that fills the space.
Even if you drink coffee here, it looks better and the same thing looks better.
How you sell is more important than what you sell.
The senses only clearly reveal their differences through concrete experience.
The place of experience and the atmosphere of the space become factors that lead to sensory acceptance.

Publisher's Review
Yoon Kwang-jun's Spatial Aesthetics Class for a Beautiful Life
Good taste permeates a good space.
In recent years, space has become an important element in our lives.
Why is this growing interest in place and space? It's because economic growth has finally allowed us to balance our desires with our ability to satisfy them.
In general, as people have more free time, it is expected that their standard of living will also improve.
It is inevitable that the next change will be the interest of society that has solved the problem of eating.
The choice of 'what to do' shifts to 'where and how'.
Author Yoon Gwang-jun says that the common goal to achieve this is to gather around 'beauty', and that this is a common process for countries that have achieved a national income of 30,000 dollars.
Photographer Yoon Kwang-jun said that he received many questions from readers of his previous work, “A Lesson in Aesthetics,” asking, “Where should I go to confirm the true nature of beauty?”
He said that at first he was puzzled as he thought, "In Korea, where the Internet is most developed, you can find it right away with a simple search, so why would you bother asking me?"
It was only later that I realized that this was a result of the confusion caused by excessive information and a decline in trust as the Internet developed.
It wasn't a question of not knowing about good and cool places, but rather a question of why one should go there and how one should experience the space.
Times have changed.
Nowadays, we don't just drink coffee at cafes or look at paintings at art galleries.
We strive to capture beauty in everything that fills the space, from the soft edges of the table and the harmony of colors, to the windows that allow maximum sunlight into the room, to the chairs that are designed to provide a comfortable sitting experience, to even a small picture frame hanging on the wall.
Photographer Yoon Gwang-jun did not overlook these changes and observed them carefully.
And I realized that the more I experienced spaces rich in such beauty, the more my taste became refined and my life became richer.
I felt like I could no longer keep the beautiful and wonderful space I had been enjoying hidden away.
Where and how can we encounter the true nature of beauty?
Space is not something to be seen, but experienced.
The spaces chosen by author Yoon Gwang-jun in “Spaces I Loved” are not flashy or large.
It ranges from spaces we encounter repeatedly in our daily lives, such as subways and restrooms, to small spaces like private gardens, cafes, corporate facilities, and even government-run art galleries.
The selection criteria are simple.
First, it was limited to places where the author discovered beauty and frequently visited, and second, it was limited to places that were public and open to the general public.
Based on the author's own experiences and insights, he examines why these spaces are valuable, how refined taste and discerning vision are expressed, and how we can best experience them from a humanistic and aesthetic perspective.
We have moved beyond the days of studying aesthetics as an academic discipline, and now there is a growing desire to learn it through direct sensory acceptance of seeing, hearing, and feeling.
You have to have art galleries and concert halls, and you have to eat at fancy restaurants to know what it is.
In this way, space as a place where senses unfold is becoming increasingly important.
The author says that from the beginning, humans have been able to discern beauty through the differences in what they see, hear, smell, taste, and feel on their skin.
The pleasure of the five senses was beauty itself.
Therefore, experiencing beauty directly in space is the most important thing in developing one's perspective on life.
For several years, artist Yoon Kwang-jun has been traveling around the world, capturing impressive spaces with his eyes.
In particular, the cities and spaces of Germany, where he visited for six years to study Bauhaus, made him realize the importance of space and the changing times.
There, I observed the specific responses of the space to heighten the senses while directly encountering the reality of beauty that cannot be known through thought alone.
We know that what we see is not everything, and that the beauty that comes from the combination of detailed choices that fill a space is important.
The author, who has recently encountered such changes frequently in Korea, compiled "Spaces I Love" with the hope of sharing with readers spaces where beauty is intensively embodied.
Therefore, although this book was published almost a year after the publication of his previous work, 『Aesthetic Class』, it can be said to be the result of a long journey of decades of traveling around the world, accumulating knowledge of all aspects of art, including art, music, architecture, photography, and design, and of years of pilgrimage to beautiful spaces.
Space curation by Korea's leading art enthusiast, Yoon Kwang-jun
The beauty we experience in space elevates our perspective on life.
“Spaces I Loved” is largely divided into five parts.
Part 1, “Spaces that Make Everyday Life Beautiful,” talks about the beauty experienced in everyday spaces we encounter repeatedly, such as restrooms and subway stations.
The author says that the level of design encountered in public facilities reveals the quality of that society.
This is because it is a concrete expression of the aesthetic sense of the city's members.
As we embrace, use, and repeat sophisticated designs, our citizens' aesthetic awareness naturally increases.
Therefore, it is said that public facilities that allow one to sense beauty briefly but intensely should be the most beautiful.
Because it has a direct impact on our lives.
What kind of beauty did the author discover in the bathroom, a space we easily pass by?
This chapter stands out for its humorous perspective and unique perspective.
In Part 2, “Why Shopping There is Fun,” we go to consumer spaces with complex shopping centers, such as Starfield and Dongchun 175.
Starfields, which are mainly located on the outskirts of Seoul, are rapidly emerging as spaces that fill the urban void.
Unlike the high-rise buildings in the city center, the long, horizontally elongated buildings offer an unfamiliar beauty, and the library, an unusual space that provides busy and tense city dwellers with time and space to think, allows them to enjoy an analog sensibility.
You can also experience the beauty of Dongchun 175, a record store that is unique in Seoul for its fin-de-siècle Viennese style, where life and art are inseparable, and its bold, counter-intuitive approach to commercializing commercial spaces.
Part 3, “Art Spaces with More to See Than Just the Artwork,” discusses spaces where you can experience art, such as fine art and music, such as Museum San or Lotte Concert Hall.
We capture places where the walls are lowered to create a space where people can interact with neighboring villages and lower the threshold for art, wonderful spaces that move people's hearts like music, corporate buildings that instantly transform the gloomy landscape of a village, and artistic buildings where the sky, the earth, and people are in harmony.
Part 4, “Places where personal tastes and social values are properly realized,” contains stories of private spaces like Jukseolheon in Naju, Jeollanam-do, where the artist’s tastes have accumulated over 40 years to realize natural beauty, and Bucheon Art Bunker B39, where a garbage incinerator was transformed into a public space responsible for the cultural life of citizens.
Spaces where a long history is not neglected or ignored, but rather connected to our lives today, offer a sense of reverence and nobility.
Part 5, “Your Eyes Grow Through Seeing, Listening, Eating, and Playing,” introduces a complex cultural space that stimulates the five senses.
You can indulge in the diverse pleasures and delicate beauty of places like Boan 1942, which boasts a rich content that harmoniously fills the building with new and old buildings; Picnic, which has turned its location on a high mountainside, which was previously overlooked for development, into an advantage and has now become a hip cultural mecca for young people; and Oud Maison, which lets you experience the ecstasy of sound in an audio shop that you should enjoy at least once in your life.
Meanwhile, this book also includes about 90 color photographs taken by photographer Yoon Gwang-jun.
He, who is also the author of the best-selling book “One Well-Taken Photo,” said that he intentionally took photos with his smartphone because he wanted to enjoy this space with his readers while accepting the changing times.
Yoon Gwang-jun says:
“If the beauty of nature is a one-sided acceptance, the beauty of art is an active response in which one is involved.”
His words are enough to explain why curation is important today.
Because “only that which I attach meaning to allows me that aesthetic feeling,” we are all constantly trying to curate our own.
However, if curation is done without objective standards and perspective, it will no longer have any meaning beyond a space that passes by briefly.
This book doesn't simply follow trends or focus on big, flashy spaces.
The author helps readers experience the elements of beauty in space discovered by the author, and further, with a heightened perspective, find their own true space that enriches and makes life happy from their own perspective.
The pleasure of reading the current times through space is a bonus.
