No Signal is a photobook made to accompany the exhibition of the same name, held by the Daegu Photo Biennale in anticipation of their 10th edition.
No Signal is subtitled by the photographer John Berger’s “The real content of the photograph is invisible”. It is an exhibition that looks at the main trends of contemporary modern photography and the difference in the meaning of the complex relationship that the object has.
“no signal” refers to the state in which the monitor’s video signal is lost, but in this exhibition it is used in the complex sense of “no (artificial) signal” and no mediator (blocking) or “determined meaning, breakout from the basic properties of the photo”. The exhibition consists of three sections in which the work of two artists is composed of three sections that are composed of two artists to respond to each other in one exhibition room, and consists of about one hundred and twenty photographs, video works, and landscaping installations of six artists.

Launched in 2006, the Daegu Photo Biennale (DPB) has grown into Asia’s foremost photography biennale over the past two decades. Grounded in the significance that Daegu has held throughout the modern and contemporary history of Korean photography, the DPB has aspired to be a platform that links the city’s historical and cultural assets with the rest of the world. The DPB has also taken as its annual theme an important issue of the times, recognizing the photograph’s role as a record and work of art and contemplating how photographic works can be understood.
The DPB aims to become an international photography platform that explores, as it always has, photography’s future and social role.
