Swan Park, who works in both photography and video, is interested in landscapes before and after urban development, ​​which demonstrate quietly embedded traces of time traces of time, especially the modern architectural form of apartment and its components. He does not stop at capturing the contrast of past and present but pays attention to the temporariness that coexists with accumulated temporality in architectural structures.

Parasite Friends starts from Park’s observation and documentation of ‘ducts,’ the metal passages for ventilation, which are part of a building yet seem completely separate, unable to strike a harmony with it. He captures his ‘duct’ friends, these inanimate inhabitants that shift their forms like ivies on outer walls depending on a building’s structure, use, or location, and their installation method and relationship with surrounding structures, and introduces them in photographic images.

기생친구들〉은 건축물의 일부인 동시에 전혀 조화를 이루지 못하는 별개의 부속으로 보이기도 하는 환기용 금속 연통 ‘덕트’에 대한 관찰과 기록에서 출발한다. 박수환은 건물 외벽을 기어오르는 넝쿨처럼 건물 구조, 용도, 위치, 설치방식, 주변 기물과의 관계에 따라 형태를 달리하며 서식하는 무생물 덕트 친구들을 포착하여 사진으로 소개한다.
