Agoraphobia
by Sin Sin Fine Art
Location: Sin Sin Fine Art
Artist(s): Alfred KO
Date: 28 Jun - 28 Jul 2012

Sin Sin Fine Art is pleased to present a photography exhibition, Agoraphobia by Alfred Ko.  It is a series of portraits of public space, or space abandoned by the public. While the agora is commonly known as an open space used for markets and public meetings in ancient Greece, Agoraphobia addresses not ancient history, but the oblivion of history as that which makes us human. Ko has been contemplating on the way built environments become oppressive forces that break up social fabrics over the past ten years. Select works from his first ever color series Claustrophobia featured in this exhibition reveal how ill-favored colors of our consumerist society are blinding. From condemning congestion and decay, Ko moves on to evocation. Agoraphobia is the flip side of colorful lives emptied out of values. It confronts the deliberate policies and systems of power that constitute the void. The portraits are the remains of the purges.
