Presentation

Gender, culture, isolation, prejudice, and stereotypes are explored in the work of Korean photographer Chan-Hyo Bae (born 1975, Busan, South Korea).

Since graduating from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2007, Chan-Hyo Bae has expressed in his work the feelings of cultural and emotional estrangement he experienced when he first came to study in England. Several series with the title Existing in Costume (2007-16) saw him posing in a variety of female historical western costumes, integrating himself into a history and society from which he felt excluded.

Researched in meticulous detail, he created elaborate scenes of himself as a noblewoman from Elizabethan to Regency periods.
