Two people, H and Z, meet. One unrepentantly nostalgic, the other decidedly erratic. It is only natural that the two friends want to present a story about emotions: about being entangled in them, about pretending not to have any.
Interweaving printed photographs, projected images and poetry, the double exhibition will show H and Z's different takes on emotions. They will explore the themes of passion, solitude and quiet obsessions, through faces, figures, objects and architecture. They respond to different types of emotions, and such is reflected in how they snap their shots.
Like thieves, they stole private moments of longing and outbursts -- from Macau to Sarajevo, from Cadiz to Amsterdam. All those emotions that torture or elevate us may be transient, and now all that's left are in H and Z's pixels and letters.
The collection of 60 photographs, prose and illustrations is set to a soundtrack of world music in an inventively re-created space. wrinkled feelings, their debut exhibtion, celebrates the joy of photography - and flights of fancy.
* Friends, please come down on 17 Sep for a cosy gathering.*
