30th February - Chow Chee Yong
Labels: photography
Our beloved lecturer is going to blow your mind away!
Chow Chee Yong, a local photographer renowned for his surrealistic black and white
photography, will be launching his first photographic book (titled the same name as
the exhibition) at Kay Ngee Tan Architects Gallery on Friday 29 February 2008,
7:30pm. The exhibition (lasting from 19 February – 15 March 2008) will showcase Chee
Yong's photomanipulated works - all singlehandedly done in the darkroom.
That means there's no photoshopping involve (some serious darkroom skills man).
The idea of 30th February, is to showcase photographic works that were physically
impossible to capture within just one shot, just like how 30th February itself isn't physically
existent, Chee Yong plays about the idea of the surreal and non-existent intertwined
into our physically relevant world.
That's a skill even I would think twice tampering with.
