Exhibition

I visited the Kathmandu Photo Gallery last weekend to see what was going on there. This little gallery in downtown Bangkok often has something interesting to see. This week Olivier Pin-Fat, a notable photographer around Asia was presenting his latest exhibition called In-Land Out Cast.

Here are a few poorly copied samples of his works.
















Here's the introduction to this exhibition

"'In-Land Out-Cast’ is a type of ‘psychological thriller’, a cinematic journey into a living necropolis, a derelict interior - phantasmal, emblematic, broken and concrete-entombed. It transverses a city of ‘real-fiction’, looped in repetition, inhabited by weighty yet invisible presences, pregnant yet impregnable shadows. Its cast are light torn people, those who are dissipating, those unsure if they’re male or female, alive or dead, the city’s ‘spirits’ - its detritus, its insane, hungry, homeless, ostracized, undefined & unformed - close ones, unknown ones, ones who come at you again and again.

It follows the haunted and the haunting, the dream-busted, the smashed and forlorn through a city built on the blur between this world and the next. A city we possibly die into. Are possibly born out of. "

As you may be able to see from images above the artist is trying to show a disturbing picture of people and their surroundings. Like many exhibitions, one really has to take in the whole work to get a feel for what the artist has created. Individually, the images are not of any interest, but as a collection they are quite dramatic in effect.
