Garden Fresh by Agan Harahap

in , , , ,

Indonesia-based photographer Agan Harahap made intriguing photography series titled Garden Fresh placing wild animals in supermarkets

It is like a fable about a journey undertaken by the animals when they venture into our daily lives. The animals are confronted by a new reality that is in conflict with their natural habits and habitats… The animals are stripped of their own identities and are used as empty vessels to be filled with the human drama of parody, satire and allegory. We cannot help but see animals from a human vantage point, and therefore in some sense all the works in the present exhibition are actually about us.

We want to show you "The Barking Wall" photography project made by Brendan George Ko as we think the most interesting

"I remember as a kid I used to cover my face with my hands, and peek at the world through my fingers. I could see the world, but the world couldn't see me. Nowadays I find myself assimilating with the hybrid, a creature I share a betwixt nature with, for we are both between two worlds, having multiple origins, and demand our own realm, such as a gothic castle, a tomb, or limbo to serve as a haven. I seek to create a peace with a conflict of belonging. The Barking Wall serves as a vault; a collection of visual memories that cross-pollinate with lived experience, and extended history (of past generations, oral tradition, and cinema), and spawn new hybrid moments. Applied layer after layer, these confused memories let go of specific places and time, and drift like phantoms, roaming free through the fields of imagination, meeting the visitor half-way, and letting one create their own narrative"

Shadow sculpture by Rook Floro

in , , ,

"My sculpture/performance piece is inspired by Carl Jung’s psychological theory about the shadow. It concerns with the repressed ideas, weakness, and desires of oneself that the conscious mind refuses to acknowledge.It represents my ‘shadow’ which involves my hidden desires to be different and become perfect in my own right. We always feel the pressure to be perfect by everything around us such as themedia, social network, advertisement, friends, and family."

Photographer Joanne Leah

in , , ,

"Photographer Joanne Leah works in “seduction, ritual, and tension”. Her pieces capture relationships, between two people or art and its viewer, as it alternately relaxes and strains. In the series featured in this post the angle of the light is severe recalling the chiaroscuro of baroque painting. The light, though, is cold, almost lonely, emphasizing the solitary figure in each photograph. Whether, the subject holds teeth in her palm or wields a knife a drama is clearly unfolding."

Derek Wood photography

in , , ,

"Derek Wood scandalously maneuvers the camera like two illicit lovers rendezvousing under an island’s darken sky. Provocatively, ravenously, and succinctly his snapshots blithely illustrate tales. Wood doesn’t just snap vignettes you gaze upon, he seductively engages the observer to sense what is before them. He has a propensity for making the viewer climactically merge with the scene. Wood caresses each edgy image with authenticity, piquancy, and whimsicality…leaving the onlooker replete, yet begging for more." via Whitezine
