Eternity in a Fleeting Moment: Capturing Jeju, at the National Museum of Jeju's special exhibition gallery, features donated works by photographer Kim Young-gap (1957–2005). The official tourism account says the exhibition followed the donation of about 98,000 works that had been held by the Kim Young-gap Gallery Dumoak.
View the show in four parts. Section one presents black-and-white images of people and everyday life from his arrival on Jeju in 1985 through the early 1990s. Section two shows color studies of oreum volcanic hills and nature from the early 1990s, using 6×9 and 6×12-inch formats. Section three turns to wide 6×17-inch images from the late 1990s, revealing long curves of the hills and changing light. Section four explores the meaning of the Dumoak gallery that the photographer established.
The official dates are June 16, 2026–March 1, 2027, at the National Museum of Jeju, 17 Iljudong-ro, Jeju-si, in its special exhibition gallery. Telephone: +82-64-720-8000. Works in sections two and three are due to rotate in November 2026, so what is displayed may vary by visit date.
The gallery text also explains that Kim avoided giving titles to individual works. Consider the light, framing, people and hills before deciding what a photograph means.
