Item Overview

Description

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.
