Impermanence_Untitled

The visual result of the symbiosis between film matter and organic matter is the conceptual origin of this body of work.

A variety of expressions and movements of people are captured on film and become an ideal environment to culture microbes. Over the course of months, the microbes use the film as an energy source for self-propagation, leaving traces of its inhabitance. This trace can be a pattern of voids, irregular lines, dispersed dots, or decomposition of film into bright colors.
Only a few images can be successfully produced in this manner, and if the microbes continue to propagate, it completely consumes the image.

Thus the impermanence of matter can be expressed through the application of these biochemical phenomena.
