Phantasia
15 May – 24 July 2009
Bestec Gallery 2 & Gallery 3

Phantasia is an odyssey of the fabulous. Vivid, complex and magical, the works in Phantasia abandon the traditional realm of the photographic (the real world) to conjure images of the fantastical. These enchanted scenes are either created as theatrical settings that are then photographed, or assembled from myriad photographic fragments.
