Kim MyeongGwon
75y, Busan

"Old things
They're all just thrown away"

​

​

From this neighborhood to that

From this alley to that

He collect discarded books

And wiping off the dust and drying them in the sun

And he sell that books to the used bookstores

in Bosu-dong for his living.

Myeong-gwon says

What others throw away

Is his livelihood.

But

Watching the shutters in the alley come down one by one
He wonders how long he can keep his job.

​

Yet he diligently

Sets out again to find discarded books.
