Lee approaches his subjects intuitively and directly, without prior aesthetic consideration; he prefers rough cropping to a tidy finish or meticulous compositions, drawing out a chaotic force in his images rather than a harmonious virtual world. Working in this way, Lee looks to capture often-suppressed impulses and a world of shamanism rooted deep in Korea's collective unconscious. His arresting, mysterious photographs of street scenes and the natural world are marked by a feverish sense of vitality and spirituality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis monograph includes Gap-Chul Lee's most iconic series, \u003ci\u003eConflict and Reaction\u003c\/i\u003e (1990-2002) and \u003ci\u003eEnergy-Qi\u003c\/i\u003e (2002-07), as well as his ongoing projects since 2008.
