      Frank Callaghan (b.1980) Banaue Houses Manila-based Filipino-British artist Frank Callaghan captures the urban Filipino landscape with long exposures, imbuing these scenes with an eerie, atmospheric quality. Callaghan’s photographs omit human figures, focusing on the spaces between buildings or archipelagos of light on building surfaces. His photographs create sharp distinctions between colors and lines, conversely blurring them, achieving a powerfully resonant quality in his images. Callaghan’s Banaue Houses capture the ramshackle housing stacked atop one another in a nondescript area, revealing the sublime in the everyday. The photographs record the interplay of light, shadow, color, and space as framed through a camera lens, and composed on the rickety foundations of the houses.
