-Insects, Rémy Artiges

The collapse of the insect population is unprecedented; its consequences are unimaginable. Insects is a work dedicated to these beings, seeking to represent their absence and to question their disappearance. Obsessed with our blind anthropocentrism, we persist in denial, failing to grasp how deeply our survival depends on theirs.

-Africa: The Lives of Others, Ömer Saruhanlıoğlu    

What can we expect from a photograph? To be informed, perhaps — through the lens of aesthetics — about the world. About people’s inner lives, or the physical world we think we know. Being informed can bring us to the threshold of those worlds. But how we look — and how we choose to see — determines what we truly understand. These images come from a remote land — a place that may feel distant, even abstract. The landscapes, homes, and rhythms of life are not what we are used to seeing around us. Yet behind these differences are people simply living, building routines, caring for families, searching for meaning — just like us.

-Daddy Take A Picture, Mehmet Demirci

Hipstamatic  

In an age where photography has become as instantaneous as a swipe and as ubiquitous as a glance, the story of Hipstamatic reminds us of the enduring charm of imperfection. Styled after a humble plastic analog camera from the early 1980s—purportedly invented by the fictional Bruce and Winston Dorbowski—the Hipstamatic app pays homage to a bygone era of visual storytelling. Though the so-called "Hipstamatic 100" was said to have sold fewer than 200 units, this backstory, likely a clever piece of viral myth-making, set the stage for a cultural moment that would capture the imagination of a new generation of photographers.   Hipstamatic is more than just an app—it is a celebration of nostalgia, a revival of the lo-fi aesthetic that once defined analog photography. As part of a broader retro movement, it shares the stage with the likes of Lomography, Polaroid instant cameras, and fellow vintage-style apps such as CameraBag and Instagram. Each offers not only stylistic filters that mimic the unpredictable beauty of film, but also the social connectivity that has come to define modern image-making.   In a world obsessed with high resolution and technical precision, Hipstamatic reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful images are those tinged with light leaks, off-colors, and the beautiful flaws of analog imperfection.

-Reconstructed Landscape, an exhibition of Chinese Photography during urbanization;

Curated by Jiang Rong 

Reception, Saturday May 16, 7 PM to 9 PM

China’s ongoing process of urbanization has profoundly reshaped both urban and rural territories, transforming not only the physical landscape but also the ways in which people inhabit, perceive, and relate to their surroundings. These sweeping changes—often rapid, uneven, and irreversible—have left visible traces across cities, villages, and transitional zones, altering the environmental and social fabric of everyday life. As situated and sensitive observers of their time, photographers play a vital role in witnessing and recording these transformations. Through the camera, they do more than document change: they respond to it, interrogate it, and reimagine it. Photography becomes a means through which landscapes are not simply represented, but reconstructed—filtered through personal experience, conceptual intervention, and critical reflection. Reconstructed Landscape brings together the work of seven Chinese photographers whose practices engage, in distinct ways, with the landscapes shaped by China’s urbanization over recent decades. In some cases, the landscapes are reconfigured through deliberate artistic strategies; in others, they emerge as fragmented, altered, or unsettled spaces shaped by economic development, spatial displacement, and environmental degradation. Whether through staging, recontextualization, or attentive observation, each artist offers a re-reading of places in transition. Collectively, the photographs presented in this exhibition offer viewers a multifaceted perspective on China’s urbanization—not as a singular narrative of progress, but as a complex and layered process experienced through diverse terrains and lived realities. At the same time, the exhibition highlights how contemporary Chinese photographers negotiate their role within this shifting landscape, using photography both as a record of change and as a critical tool for reimagining the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit.

The Quiet Axis of Earth, Pi Lin Liu

Reception, Thursday  August 6, 6 PM to 8 PM

What does it mean to witness time—not as a sequence of events, but as a condition that quietly reshapes the world? This series moves across polar landscapes, where boundaries between ice, water, land, and life appear both fragile and unstable. These environments are often perceived as distant or extreme, yet they reveal processes that are neither sudden nor dramatic, but continuous and inevitable. Rather than documenting change as an event, the work reflects on how forms dissolve, how structures lose coherence, and how presence gradually shifts toward absence. Human traces, animal life, and geological formations are not treated as separate subjects, but as elements within the same field of transformation. Seen through this quiet axis, time does not unfold in a linear progression. It accumulates through subtle erosion, through the slow reconfiguration of surfaces, and through the persistent uncertainty of what remains.
