New take on classic subjects
Print Edition
AN exhibition featuring photos captured by Danish photographer Jacob Gils is currently running at Hwa’s Gallery through May 10.
Gils’ Shanghai solo includes two of his series — “Limit to Your Love” and “Movement.”
“In my ongoing project ‘Movement,’ I try to give the visible shape to the relationship between my own concrete physical movement in the production phase and the established environment or familiar sites chosen as content,” says the photographer.
“By using the camera as a tool to render this feeling of flux, I wanted to generate engaging interpretations of iconic structures such as La Tour Eiffel and landscape sceneries.
“Fragmented, draped and distorted the images might invite the viewers to go closer and discover the details, which do not readily reveal themselves from a certain distance,” Gils says.
“Limit to Your Love” series was initiated through the breaking away from controlled photography, and introducing an element of chance into the artistic process.
The tactile, disrupted surfaces challenge the iconic and timeless subject of the beautiful female, making these works into emotional statements with natural imperfection.
“Jacob Gils: New Perspectives”
Date: Through May 10, 10am-5pm
Venue: Hwa’s Gallery
Address: 534 Hengshan Road
