Seung-Hwan Oh - Impermanence

Impermanence is a series by Swung-Hawn Oh, which uses home-grown microbes and bacteria. It then fuses it into the realm of photography by allowing them to feed on light sensitive chemicals on the film, degrading the film gradually but severely. Photographers have long been using destructive chemicals and other methods in order to deteriorate their negatives, but what makes this particularly interesting to me is the use of the microbial bacteria causing the unstoppable destruction.
