Kim Seong-jae
a shipping container yard in Busan, South Korea
Kim Seong-jae has spent decades of his life entrenched in the rhythms and sounds of the livestock auctions in Busan. Living in a corrugated container yard, every corner of his world is animated by the persistent hum of trade and the gritty realities of rural commerce. Laughter comes to him unpredictably, breaking the tension of negotiations, and he finds poetry in the mundane, like the gentle thud of someone settling into a folding chair.
