Jungjin Lee uses a medium/large format camera for his landscapes. For this series, "Unnamed Road" she had recorded a lengthy process for his prints. Her negative prints would be coated in silver nitrate emulsion, then scanned into a digital format. She would then convert it into a negative again, and have it on a final print of mulberry print.
Her photos appear to be panoramics, but she chooses to crop her photos this size. She elaborates on the textures from plane to plane in her print mediums. All of her photos create a theme of absence, as if it's a single thing there can't be grasped to be missing from a single photo.
I found her workflow to be the most interesting part. She would edit the edits, then print the edits with more edits. Also her preference of creating photos with a shorter vertical axis create a different perspective on her photos.
I am really drawn to the 2nd photo and how it no longer even looks like a photograph because of her process. His composition is quite interesting.
