Marcin T. Jozefiak is a Polish-British visual artist and photographer currently based in Berlin, working between Berlin and Seoul. Jozefiak immigrated to South Korea, where he began focusing on themes of lost identity. His work aims to bridge the subject and the viewer and to empower individuals who feel excluded from society by revealing their unnoticed beauty. He believes that raising awareness can change perceptions of what people fear—something he seeks to achieve through his artistic practice.
His Fearless Flowers project explores gender, sexuality, gaze, and identity in South Korea. Photographed over two years with 23 participants, the series celebrates self-expression, inclusivity, and individual beauty. His latest project, a short film titled Identity Monologues, explores themes of self-discovery and human connection.
His previous work, Ma Anand Sheela now. Life after Wild Wild Country, was showcased at the National Portrait Gallery in London as part of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize. His most recent project and book, Fearless Flowers, had solo exhibitions in Seoul and Rotterdam and was named “2023’s most arresting photo series from around the world” by DAZED.
