About the series: Biography of Cancer: In 2005, about seventy thousand people died of cancer, in South Korea. With this sobering statistic, Jason Sangik Noh started the work, Biography of Cancer. It’s about an encounter with cancer, dramatic treatments, euphoric successes, tragic failures, deaths, and the relentless battles faced by the doctors and patients. It is also a meditation on illness, medical ethics, and the complex, intertwining lives of concerned people.
