There is a super awesome exhibition featuring 12 local Malaysian artists happening now at Sasana Kijang (Bank Negara Malaysia) titled - JIWA MEMBUMI. The official translation of the title to English is "the soul of the land". The exhibition is comprised of mixed media presentation, digital projection, sculpture pieces, paintings and a majority of the exhibits are of course, photography prints! Both my good friends Azul Adnan and Grace Ho (whom I have talked about previously) are also highlighting this show, and I am so, so proud to see their amazing photography work displayed in large prints. Congratulations to both Azul and Grace, you both know how incredible you are, and I will visit both of you again at the gallery some time soon. For those of you in Kuala Lumpur, or visiting the city, please consider slotting some time to check out Jiwa Membumi exhibition running from now till 25 February 2025. Gallery is open to public everyday (except Mondays) from 10am to 5pm. You can check out the official website for more information here (click).
Technical notes: Bags are not allowed into the event venue, so I packed the smallest setup I can - the Panasonic GM1 and kit lens 12-32mm pancake, carrying into location by hand. If you see some weird skin colors, well blame Panasonic and their weird color science. All images shot on the GM1 except the first image, stolen from Azul's phone.
