Status Anxiety

03 March 2010 - 11 April 2010

This exhibition explores society’s pressures on women to conform to ideals as presented by the glossy images of fashion magazines and advertising. A series of photographs featuring a Stepford Wife-like model at first glance appear to be from a high fashion magazine, but a closer inspection reveals domestic life turned literally upside down - as if gravity has been suspended, her internal anxiety projected onto her surroundings. The exhibition also includes a supplementary series of unique hand-assembled layered photographs, bringing these images of the ‘everyday’ to the third dimension.

Sons of Ganga

Photographs by Seng Mah

13 March 2010 - 31 March 2010

Sons of Ganga chronicles life unfolding on the banks of the river Ganges in the city of Varanasi, India. The Ganges is the most holy of rivers in India; for Hindus, she is the goddess Ganga. To bathe in the Ganges is to attain moksha, the release from the cycle of death and rebirth. Yet, the Ganges is so heavily polluted that its waters are septic. Sons of Ganga is the story of modern day Varanasi and the intersection between the spiritual and the secular on the banks of the holiest of rivers.

Sons of Ganga is a FotoFreo 2010 Fringe Festival exhibition (www.fotofreo.com)
