VISIONAIRS is a photo gallery that just opened its new space in Singapore at the Capitol Piazza. The first inaugural exhibition is devoted to the work of Park Seung Hoon.
To create the unique photographs, Park uses positive 16mm movie film that he cuts into strips and loads into a large format camera. « When processed the result is a mosaic of films, like a detailed patchwork composed of an inextricable labyrinth where the eye can get lost, » he explains. The final image is a blend of mediums: both photograph as well as woven textile. By threading the film together, Park creates beautifully captivating scenes with textured distortions. The composition instantly comes together as a whole, but upon closer inspection, the details of the tiny squares reveal incomplete parts and unexpected divides that make the final results even more exciting.
« Images are better to explain than the symbol of wealth , but it is not easy to show the dark side of the current consumer society. On the other side, one can see in these images the complex planning of streets, the advancement of the nation and the good to the tourist business. Over 7000 photos were taken in the last year through 30~40km of Han river between the river side highways and the Olympic highways. » PSH
The next exhibition in May will be dedicated to Seb Janiak.
