Opera Gallery presents for the second time in Hong Kong award winning French photographer Gérard Rancinan showcasing his latest series titled “Chaos”.

Rancinan’s post-developed practice of staged photography references history, popular culture and Western art, as a critical and sometimes satirical commentary on social and political issues. By juxtaposing classical archetypes with popimagery, he blurs the fine line between high and low art. Featuring 20 visually seductive and epically proactive original photographs, the works tell a dramatized narrative of humanity’s battle between social order and chaos, inevitably falling into the fate of civil and moral degeneration. The visual display of the exhibition moves between populated scenes of barbaric disorder to desolated scenes of its aftermath. Influenced by major world movements of globalization, religion, politics and the growing domination of the Internet, Rancinan gives a critical take through the eye of his lens.
