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.
