Second Peruvian cultural event in Bali, co-presented by the Embassy of Peru in Indonesia and CushCush Gallery.
ABOUT
IN THE WAKE OF LIGHT presents portraits taken from diverse points in life, with time and geographical sphere as its tangible limits. As we grow and change over time, fragments of the past linger subtly through archives and the curiosity to seek what’s hidden in the past. Through our attempts of reliving those moments, light leads us toward what remains: faces, bodies, places, stories, and memories, each altered by the distance of time. Curated by Yoppy Pieter, this selection of photographs are placed altogether to evoke meaningful and reflective conversations around the practice of archiving, re-interpretations and various methods of re-living culture and seeking wisdom from all corners of life. Through the eyes of Gabriel Barreto Bentin and Gung Ama Gama, CushCush Gallery in collaboration with Peruvian Embassy presents a space for cross continent, cross period of time, and cross historical contexts for story-telling, presenting the fragments of the remaining light and memories to seek what we may never fully known.
