Booth 57, Level 7
We're participating for the first time in Art Fair Philippines, featuring Philippines-born, Australia-based documentary and art photographer Emmanuel Tolentino Santos. His works are in the theme of nomadic portraits, visual interpretations of ancient myths, legends and the ongoing cultural evolution in the independent countries and indigenous communities of the world.
"Emmanuel Santos probes the densely layered aspects of photographic practice, skilfully employing metaphor through photographic composition and technique as he follows the trails of slowly disappearing places and peoples whose long held traditions are threatened: the habitations of what would soon be a lost world. His photographs function both as document and prophecy, for the earth may soon become a 'magnificent desolation', which was how Buzz Aldrin described the moon decades ago. His photographic practice captures "two worlds....the mystic heaven and [the] earth within"; summoning images that record and reframe the human condition with poetic acuity. The dark room may indeed be his universe, a vastness to float across and a sanctuary to ground oneself in."
– Excerpt from an essay by Tessa Maria Guazon, who curated last year's Philippines pavillion in Venice.
