Silent Ruptures

Three photographers from various locations around the globe provide different perspectives on the interaction between humans and the landscape.

Editorial Review

Three photographers residing in different pockets of the globe bring different perspectives of the human environment in a new exhibition called Silent Ruptures. Participating artist Yoshiro Masuda resides in Osaka, Mathieu Bernard-Raymond is a Frenchman living in Switzerland and Kristian Haggblom was born in Melbourne and spends his time between Australia and Tokyo.

Haggblom uses a large-format camera to document the manner in which the environment we inhabit shapes and is shaped by our society. He is interested in exploring the seemingly distant relationship between people and nature and works to capture human fears and expectations that are derived from the landscape. Haggblom focuses on psychological interactions with landscapes and exhibits widely both in Australia and overseas. He is also known for his alternative imaging methods and explorations of perception through light, shape, angle and shadow.

Bernard-Raymond explores the interaction between humans and landscape but focuses on a select, transient group. For this exhibition he photographs locations that are frequented by tourists, who act as temporary human figures on urban landscapes. Masuda completes the theme with his showcase of stylised images taken of locations where a crucial act has taken place. He arrives after the fact when only remnants of proof remain.
