“Intimate Strangers” is a series of portraits of photographer Woosung Sohn's friends. Taken between 2005 and 2011 in South Korea, this edition presents faces that we don’t know: they are foreign to us. Strange moments emerge from relationships we think are intimate, and these friends sometimes seem to become strangers to us. The book is composed upside down, i.e. the pages are folded backwards. The cover is hidden inside the book. The materiality of both sides of the paper, glossy and matt, constantly offers the sensation of the different relationships between the front and back.
