Description of art	These photos were taken by Kim Soohyun in 2012 and 2013 after moving to Chicago, USA. At the time, he was working on a photography project to examine the traces of housing experiments, such as the infamous Cabrini Green public housing redevelopment project in Chicago. Cabrini Green was a Chicago public housing project implemented from 1942 to 1958, providing housing for 15,000 people. But a majority of the buildings were demolished from 1995 to 2011 due to a new urban redevelopment project. The biggest victims of the process were mainly low income African American residents. The artist tried to visualize what was lost from the historical event by photographing houses and buildings on the verge of demolition and to record traces of the community that disappeared with demolition. Here, he continued to work on the theme of “city” and his interest in social issues. For example, he actively participated in the Tamms Year Ten, a campaign to close solitary confinement prisons, which causes the loss of humanity and alienation and does not lead to the reform of prisoners.
