South Korean artist Seung-Hwan Oh blends science and art for an interesting and unique take on photography. As a microbiologist, he encourages the growth of fungus onto his films. The stunning result is then caused by experimenting with immersing the developed film in water, over a period of months or years. The beautiful destruction that takes place involves the light sensitive chemicals being eaten away by microbes, leaving a delicate and surreal visual conclusion.
