About

Records of people who work with their hands in Korea.

What
People in Korea who work with their hands.
The test
Does Korea show? A trade that exists elsewhere still counts if the Korean way, place or habit is visible. Hands and process on camera; a person's story if there is one.
Who
No age limit. A barber of sixty years and a young furniture maker, in the same frame.
Seen
Video and photographs of the person and the work. If they sell something, we show it.
Unseen
For those who find online and selling hard, we quietly help — apart from the filming. What changes becomes the "since then" chapter.
Colour
Black and white is what we wrote. Colour is who we met.
Nominate

Know someone?

A neighbour, a relative, the person who fixes your shoes. Anyone in Korea whose hands tell you where you are.

Send us three lines — who they are, where, and why them.
