JINWHO (artist name / 雅號(pronounced aho), Juwon Kim) is a Seoul-based photographer whose expansive practice explores the intersection of memory, identity, and medium, centered on the psychological reenactment of memory.

His artistic exploration is broadly structured across four interconnected categories. The core of his conceptual work lies in digitally staged self-portraits. In these images, JINWHO visualizes the process of personal trauma, illness, and recovery transforming into a new sense of identity. This deeply personal exploration utilizes dramatic lighting and ambiguous gestures to capture the collision between the self's substance and its psychological shadow.

A defining category of his practice is Hybrid Media, specifically the signature series 'The Re-Colored Analogues'. Here, JINWHO bridges the documentary quality of film with the emotive subjectivity of painting by applying oil paints directly onto analog prints. This physical intervention transforms the photographic record into a unique, hybridized object that reflects the fluid and malleable nature of recollection.

Additionally, his practice includes Traditional Analog Film Photography projects, which focus on exploring the unique texture, depth, and contemplative process inherent in film-based mediums. Separate from his conceptual and mixed-media work, JINWHO also maintains a body of work in Digital Travel Snapshots and Documentary Photography, which functions as a visual diary, capturing observations from everyday life and travel.
