Korean Photographer Giseok Cho Lends His Surrealist Vision To FEMALE’s September Edition

Where the wild things are.

With a love for nature, things from a time past and the surreal, Korean artist-slash-photographer Giseok Cho creates imagery in the pursuit of fundamental beauty.

We asked him to conjure up a story for this edition of FEMALE centred around navigating the ambiguous state of the world today. His response: send us back into the realm of childhood dreams and nightmares, where with the power of imagination (and some of the season’s most fantastic clothes and fine jewellery), anything is possible.

He notes: “This story is about overcoming one’s nightmares and fears. The world might be in a difficult stage now, but in the future, there will be a bigger and better world.”
