{"product_id":"jenga","title":"Jenga","description":"\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJenga is a hybrid between a research publication and a photobook, unfolding as both a visual investigation and an evolving sculptural experiment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeginning with observations of spaces and structures shaped by South Korea’s rapid economic development, the project reflects on the unstable systems, invisible tensions, and performative balances embedded within contemporary society. During this process, the artist began noticing parallels between these conditions and the game of Jenga structures that appear stable yet constantly risk collapse. This became the conceptual starting point for constructing and photographing his own precarious sculptural forms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin the publication, the structures operate as metaphors for different social relationships and psychological conditions. Some collapse under pressure, while others are secretly reinforced with glue, fragile in appearance but deceptively secure. Others survive only through delicate and temporary balance. Rather than speaking solely about national systems or urban development, the work quietly expands into reflections on relationships between individuals, groups, and broader collective structures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe publication moves fluidly between documentation and fabrication. Photographs of real environments sit alongside staged images, collected visual material, handwritten notes, and drawings, forming an image-based research archive that resists a single narrative. Through this fragmented approach, Jenga constructs a visual language that feels both analytical and deeply personal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat makes this publication especially compelling is how it captures the early formation of eunjaejoe’s artistic vocabulary, particularly his later sculptural and spatial concerns surrounding instability, construction, and speculative environments. For readers interested in contemporary Korean photography, artist-led publishing, conceptual image making, and interdisciplinary practices, Jenga offers not only a thoughtful visual experience, but also an important insight into the development of an emerging artistic practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore than a photobook, Jenga functions as a meditation on precarious balance, on the quiet systems, invisible supports, and fragile negotiations that shape everyday life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e+++\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English \u0026amp; Korean\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eBinding: Softcover | 69 pages\u003cbr\u003eBook Size: \u003cspan\u003e250 x 300mm | 760g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 979-11-992330-0-3\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FF","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47268179378338,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/8521\/files\/Kora_01.png?v=1779854610","url":"https:\/\/zontiga.com\/products\/jenga","provider":"Zontiga","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
