Three Shadows Photography Art Centre presents "Suspension: 2022 (3rd) Three Shadows Workshop Alumni Exhibition" at 3.0space.
As one of the main departments, the Three Shadows Education Program has been responsible for the functions of academic research, knowledge dissemination and talent cultivation since its launch in 2012, regarding photography as a broad and independent art form. The influential contemporary photography education curriculum system inspires and explores a new generation of creators with ideals and potential.
In this exhibition, we will focus on 4 young practitioners who will study abroad. After several months of photography study and experience, they took on thought process of contemporary creation, adopted self-inspected intelligent strategies and regarded themselves as little hummingbirds, which must constantly vibrate its wings with a high frequency and "suspend" in the air. Such gestures are sometimes extremely gloomy and dazed, but in this ambiguous situation, they repeatedly place themselves between the bystander and the intervener, challenging the reality in different ways.
