Seung Hoon Park created these woven-together photographic images in response to the urban sprawl he witnessed when walking on the streets of Seoul, Korea, and other large cities. For the TEXTUS series, Park used large pathworks of cut positive 16mm movie films patchworked together to show “the sprawling appearance and complexity of these cities.”

Park explains, “Writing a text, like weaving a fabric are an endless experience as both the text and the fabric can stretch infinitely. I’ve gotten the same feeling when walking in Seoul streets… I use positive 16mm movie film that I cut and load in a large format camera. When processed the result is a mosaic of films, like a detailed patchwork that composes an inextricable labyrinth where the eye can get lost.”

Born in 1978 and lives and works in Seoul
