South-Korean artist: Gwon Osang.
About the sculptures of photographs, his site claims that:
"From the modern gaze of Charles Pierre-Baudelaire to the simulacra of Jean Baudrillard, the photographic media rule over the modern city as the primary force underlying all visual concepts. Photography embodies the will to arrest the transient moment in time which has in turn, made it the very media to completely transform our conception of the visual field with its capability to separate image from reality.(...)
“In sculpture, we sculpt an object and cast it into plaster which is no different from the process of developing negatives in film. Also, the process of re-making the original object from the plaster cast is parallel to the printing process in photography.".
