"Launch: PIX – The Sri Lanka Special Issue" The launch will be accompanied by a talk by Suresh Jayaram at Max Mueller Bhavan / Gothe Institut, 3 Kasturba Gandhi Marg > 7pm on 8th February 2013
Time : 7:00 pm
Entry : Free (Seating on First-Come First-Served basis)
Event Description : 'Launch: PIX – The Sri Lanka Special Issue' PIX Vol. 6 Metamorphoses – The Sri Lanka Special Issue. The launch will be accompanied by a talk by Suresh Jayaram.
With the growing emphasis on photography from South Asia, the following issue of PIX is dedicated to photography in Sri Lanka.
The notion of change and transition has been evident not only in the social and political history of Sri Lanka but also its enlarging cultural life, for example seen in the more recent Colombo Biennial.
To quote the words of Shehan Karunatilaka: Metamophosis is something more than just change. It is a transformation where the 'after' is unrecognizable from the 'before'. It is the past becoming the now; the broken becoming the whole as Sri Lanka is transforming, from war porn to tourist brochure; from third world mess to Asian hopeful. With this spirit, the new issue of PIX attempts to showcase photographers who explore the notion of 'change' that they might have experienced in their own photo-practice, as well as the world around them, creating not only a document, but perhaps even a personal history, an encounter.
Though this Special Issue attempts to unravel an evolving context, a penetrating history and a fresh iconography; a sense of the 'everydayness' of experience pervades the contributions that came in, providing both refreshment and anxiety; the need to move on yet wrestle with lingering traces of the past as it delays its inevitable mutation.
The launch will be accompanied by a talk by Suresh Jayaram, curator of the Colombo Art Biennale.
