A metropolitan Korean park

I’m taking time out of my busy morning study schedule (I bemoan the complexity of the female reproductive system… christ, how am I supposed to keep all those hormones straight?) to point out this cool photo by Hosang Park, currently for sale at 20×200.com.

I have the following questions about it:

  • What is up with the paths? You think they have a layering hierarchy at first, but it’s not consistent.
  • Why are the benches on the paths instead of set back from the paths, as they are in American parks? It’s irritating.
  • Lastly, what is with that tree, fourth on the right, in the lower right-hand corner, that has no accompanying bench?

    I could look at this photo forever and never come up with the answers to these questions, and that makes me want it. Unfortunately, it’s not in the budget right now. (It kills me to say that, as an artist– I don’t want Art to be removed from the Budget because of the Hard Times.)

    This photo reminds me of the photo I took in Tokyo, “Salaryman kicks the air”, which I (astonishingly) remembered I already blogged about here.
