'Light', group show at Peckham 24, London, Sep 2021
Time: 10 September - 25 September 2021
Venue: Seen Fifteen Gallery & Safehouse II, London, UK
Under the exhibition titled ‘Light’, artists Caleb Fung, Liao
Jiaming, O’Young Moli, Julian, Tang Kwong San, Yuen Nga Chi, Wong
Wei-him and Catrine Val offer varied interpretations of the theme while
exploring the possibilities of the media of photography, film,
performance, and pinhole camera to bring attention to the city’s
transforming social climate.
While the notion of ‘Light’ is
intrinsically related to photography, determining tone, mood and
atmosphere in the process of image making, it also allows for artistic
interpretation, whether it is about the dawn of life, or light as a
symbol for reason, enlightenment and knowledge and the capacity of
humans to develop on a rational level. In Plato’s allegory of the cave,
light allows us to see the shadows on the wall. If humans were to leave
the cave and venture outside, the light of the sun would let them see
the world around them. Light, therefore, means knowledge.
