If you like beautiful fairy-story testimonies, then this exhibition isn't always for you. Instead you will get to learn about the chaos of feelings, relationships and public lifestyles in Yangon through the lenses of five ladies photographers.
The exhibition is known as “Disclosure”.
Due to increased foreign investment over the past 10 years, Yangon metropolis has evolved in some parts but stays as chaotic as ever in others.
“Yangon has many remarkable homes” Tin Htet Paing instructed Metro. “Wherever you move, there are buildings underneath construction. But we sense they don’t belong to us. While staying in Myanmar, we experience that the area is in transition and we don’t recognize whilst it'll quit. Sometimes it’s just like the buildings and the humans don’t in shape,” she said of her snap shots venture called “Beautiful Chaos”.
The journalist Ma Tin Htet Paing joined the Thuma Collective collectively with six different members in 2017. Disclosure is the second one photograph exhibition for her group. But this time, she has covered four other fellow girl photographers.
Some of the photographers have used the possibility to explore their relationships with own family. The work of Ma Rita Khin, as an example, offers with the artists feelings toward her parents – the photos are all stuck onto the wall with magnets, as though they were on a refrigerator.
Rita displayed her own pics together with the ones taken through her dad and mom while she turned into more youthful, giving the viewer a glimpse into her existence as a topic in the photos.
Shwe Wutt Hmon’s Dharmata picture stories discover the subject of menstruation, a topic heavily motivated through the artist’s mom.
“I simply need to put something accessible for human beings to talk about. This is quite a taboo subject matter in society, and I desired humans to have a communique about it,” she said.
Ma Yu Yu Myint Than’s paintings also relates to some other non-public topic, that of relationships and past loves. Although most of the people generally tend to smash matters from past loves, in the case of Ma Yu Yu Than, she did the opposite. She has taken pics from exclusive angles of herself at some point of past relationships with disposable cameras – itself a image for the throwaway nature of present day dating.
Do not try to ask her what number of breakups she has had. Try to look for the answer within the snap shots instead. You will witness her testimonies some of the shadows of the photos that she took in her personal manner.
It’s an concept I thought of years in the past, after a breakup. Sometimes we meet new humans to forget about old ones, as a manner of transferring on. But as the romances have been one-time moments, I started capturing photographs with a disposable digicam. The entire technique is experimental, from taking pictures to the development of my pix,” stated Yu Yu Myint Than.
Drinking whiskey or espresso, or consuming foods and studying books, a lot of us try to neglect a person we have been once attached to via distraction. Yu Yu Myint Than attempted an opportunity approach, using the art of photography to overlook her beyond loves.
Some of her snap shots have been developed using lime soda, coffee and whiskey.
Her group’s first picture exhibition “Us & Beyond” changed into held at the beginning of 2018. She fashioned a women photographer’s group in 2017, with the purpose of promoting women’s views through the art.
