AB - This study began with a sense of the problem of the point at which photography as contemporary art in Korea started. Focusing on the Korean situation where the overall development of contemporary art and the time when photography acquires contemporariness are different, this study attempted to examine in detail how the bias of photography trends in the transition to contemporary Korean art is related to the acceptance method of postmodernism at the time. To this end, this study re-established the core concepts based on a close review of major postmodern theories and analyzed how these concepts were selectively accepted in the Korean art world. Furthermore, by paying attention to the point where the conceptual definition of documentary photography changes and its practice pattern changes in the process of establishing photography as a major medium of contemporary art, the process of reconstructing the existing record-oriented photographs into post-documentary trends was intended to be revealed in detail. From this, it was confirmed that photography as contemporary Korean art has expanded beyond the simple representation of reality to a practical medium that emphasizes the semantic action produced through the relationship between subjects and composes through directing and intervention according to the artist's intention.
