This fall, Fotografiska Shanghai presents "The Coexistence of Imperfection," the first major solo exhibition in Asia by Korean visual artist Cho Gi-Seok.

The exhibition, which opened on October 12 and will run through March 8 next year, features four of his defining series – "Flower Study," "Bad Dream," "Love & Hate" and "These Days" – each revealing imperfection as a source of tension, beauty and transformation.

Known for his vivid, symbol-rich visual language that bridges tradition and futurism, Cho creates dreamlike scenes where nature, technology and emotion collide.

His signature style – bold, saturated and deeply poetic – redefines modern Asian aesthetics, inviting audiences to find resonance in fragility and meaning within contradiction.

More than a visual experience, the exhibition becomes a meditation on harmony and vulnerability in an age of digital excess.
