"Fading" - EXHIBITION AT PH21 GALLERY IN BUDAPEST by Claude Peschel Dutombe

"Resurrection" is the title of the picture that was shown in "Fading" - A juried group exhibition at PH21 Gallery in Budapest.

There is a fun story that goes with this picture.
My sister submitted her very first photo-based work to this exhibition and while she explained to me her concept she asked me if I could come up with something that would compliment her work. Based on her concept that was a sequence of pictures about a life circle represented in a shape of the infinity sign, I wanted to find something that would symbolize the intersection of growth and decay in a single frame.
So I went out for a stroll and found this picture in a small park under a tree.

At the end we managed to have both other pieces in this exhibition....a family event.

Here are some installation shots from the exhibition.

Labor of love at THE HAND.  

 

Rising Waters

"Rising Waters" is a piece that was created during the 2012 epic flood in Thailand I was caught up in.

It describes the antagonizing feeling of anticipating an inevitable disaster looming just ahead of you.
