JUDGEMENT OF LINE ORIENTATION
OBSCURA FESTIVAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY, MALAYSIA 2016
Judgement of Line Orientation stems from exploring social structures created for people to find a sense of belonging as a community. The works included explore and question the act of creating such norms. These questions become more relevant in the context of our current times when constructs are blatantly exploited by the politics of nations and its powerful to divide. The photographic interrogations included draw from a strong base in the photographers’ personal thoughts or politics. For the curator, it questions the need and relevance of these structures and its impact on how we choose to live our lives today. The curation questions the formation of our multiple identities for nations,religions, mythologies, families and gender homogenization and its subsequent politics.
