Dark Light





Dark Light
Dark Light, a Joint Exhibition by Abbas/Magnum and Melisa Teo
For three years, Abbas and Melisa have journeyed through the spiritual worlds of Buddhism, Shamanism and lately Hinduism, photographing the same subjects but with conflicting perspectives and contrasting styles.
With the sharp, skeptical eye of a veteran photographer, Abbas photographs individuals and societies governed by their respective rituals and beliefs in classic black-and-white Magnum tradition.
Melisa, on the other hand, regards her camera as an extension of her third eye and medium for transcendence. When she shoots, she finds herself transported into a meditative state, which she believes to be a state of grace. Light is her guide, and her photographic adventures an integral part of her spiritual journey.
