South Korean photographer Seung Hoon Park creates art which I am not really sure how to catalog. While it is definitely photography (and magnificent one indeed), the medium is somewhat… unorthodox.

Seung uses big sheets of interwoven film strips as a medium to expose light onto. In an (understandably) secret process, Seung weave rolls of 8mm and 16mm film into tapestries that are then fed into an 8×10 camera. I am assuming that this entire process is done in total darkness. Seung then travels the world and takes photos of monuments and scenery. The results are stunning to match the effort.
