Daegu Photo BiennaleKRThe Pulse of Life 10th Daegu Photo Biennale18 Sep – 16 Nov 2025Main Exhibition Theme: Daegu Arts Center 1-9 Hall The Pulse of Life The exhibition is anchored in the concept of the Symbiocene—a term coined by Australian environmental philosopher Glenn Albrecht to imagine a future beyond the Anthropocene, where all life forms coexist and collaborate. Through photography, installation, and video, it explores the origins of life, ecological continuity and resilience, the boundaries between human and non-human beings, and both visible and invisible worlds.

Known for her soft, luminous color palette, KAWAUCHI has, since the beginning of her career, captured the mysteries and brilliance of life—its fragility and resilience—through a deeply poetic lens. Her gaze moves from delicate, everyday subjects such as flowers, animals, and family to the vast temporal forces of nature, including volcanoes and glaciers.

Commissioned by Khalil BEY, a collector and diplomat Ottoman of Egyptian descent, the painting was kept hidden behind a curtain for decades. Today, it hangs openly on the walls of the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, no longer viewed as pornography but celebrated for its boldness and modernity in the history of p… more Daegu Photo BiennaleKRPhotobooks 10th Daegu Photo Biennale18 Sep – 16 Nov 2025This year’s Biennale Photobook Exhibition showcases 97 photobooks and 48 original artworks by 94 international artists.

The “dry eyes” serves not as the absence of feeling but as a metaphor for the trace of time left at the end of sustained looking. To see is to inhabit the other’s temporality, and such looking unfolds into a disposition of relation. Framed by the contemporary sensibility of “living together”, the 2025 Encounter VIII exhibition introduces four artists who have practiced this mode of looking. The exhibition presen… more Daegu Photo BiennaleKR7th Daegu Photo Biennale 2018 Role-playing - Rewriting mythologies8 Sep – 16 Oct 2018Daegu Photo BiennaleKR6th Daegu Photo Biennale 2016We are from somewhere, but where are we going?29 Sep – 3 Nov 2016Daegu Photo BiennaleKRDaegu Photo Biennale +82 (53)-655-4789 5th Daegu Photo Biennale 2014 - PHOTOGRAPHIC NARRATIVEAzadeh AkhlaghiVasco AscoliniRoger BallenAlexandra BoulatDavide Bramante… (28)Andrea BruceAlejandro ChaskielbergKudzanai ChiuraiJean ChungLUO DanAngelica DassCristina De MiddelAlfredo de StefanoAlixandra FazzinaLuis González PalmaFan HoRoberto HuarcayaYee I-LannShigeyuki KiharaBohnchang KooMyong Ho LeeNamsa LeubaMarcos LopezÓscar MuñozVik MunizCHEN NongSherman OngWang QingsongCaio ReisewitzRobert Zhao RenhuiGreg SemuHan SungpilMasao Yamamoto12 Sep – 19 Oct 2014Daegu Photo BiennaleKRDaegu Photo Biennale +82 (53)-655-4789 Daegu Biennale 2012 - PHOTOGRAPHY IS MAGIC!Lotta AntonssonSeung Woo BackSara BloklandSebastiaan BremerBianca Brunner… (34)Denis DarzacqNancy de HollLiz DeschenesCharlotte DumasJessica EatonShannon EbnerEmmeline De Mooij / Viviane SassenJason EvansLaToya Ruby FrazierJulia Fullerton-BattenDaniel GordonPaul GrahamCuny JanssenRon JudeRinko KawauchiKDK (Dokyun KIM)Yuki KimuraTaisuke KoyamaAnouk KruithofMatt LippsJennifer LoeberAnnie MacDonellCurtis MannCarter MullLaurel NakadatePaulien OlthetenArthur OuDoug RickardViviane SassenLieko ShigaTaiyo Onorato & Nico KrebsPenelope UmbricoSara VanDerBeekShen Wei20 Sep – 28 Oct 2012Daegu Photo BiennaleKRDaegu Photo Biennale +82 (53)-655-4789 3rd Daegu Photo Biennale -tru(E)motion Joonas AhlavaChan-Hyo BaePeter BialobrzeskiOliver BobergRobert Capa… (60)Sung Eun ChangGerardo CustanceJoakim EskildsenGAO Brothers (Zhen & Qiang)Ori GershtDenise GrünsteinIlkka HalsoAgan HarahapDuong Cam HOANGTakashi HommaYee I-LannTiina ItkonenTeaWon JangCHEN JiagangUlla JokisaloAino KannistoHannu KarjalainenKalle KatailaPertti KekarainenKim JoonOla KolehmainenJanne LehtinenJouko LehtolaAlexander LembkeVille LenkkeriAnni LeppäläNoomi LjungdellAki LumiNiko LuomaSusanna MajuriMaleonn (Ma Liang)Walter NiedermayrSohei NishinoKoji OnakaSherman OngRiitta PäiväläinenAdam PańczukNelli PalomäkiJyrki ParantainenHyung-Geun ParkHyun-Doo ParkPark Shi-Chan & Chang Myung-KeunCHI PengMaría Teresa PonceJorma PuranenAngki PurbandonoWang QingsongHeli RekulaReiner RiedlerShintaro SatoMikko SinervoManit SriwanichpoomJuha SuonpääDaniëlle van ArkNiina VatanenSaana WangLI WeiAgung Nugroho WidhiOsamu YokonamiHyun Mi Yoo30 Sep – 24 Oct 20103rd Daegu Photo Biennale -tru(E)motion Main Exhibitions Helsinki School Seconds of Life breaking the edge Special Exhibitions Asia Spectrum Speaking out peace The subject of 2010 Daegu Biennale is ‘tru(E)motion’ (landscape calling us).
