Director’s inspiration: bong joon ho
Exhibition catalog edited by Michelle Puetz, published in 2025 by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and DelMonico Books · D.A.P.
“It feels like a deep visual diary of the Oscar-winning director’s mind, opening up his creative world through sketches, images, storyboards, notebooks, props, and more. It’s not just the how but also the why of his work, perfect for anyone interested in creative process and films that blend human stories with social critique and surreal imagination.” —Michael Nolledo, GQ
