Latepost: Photos linguistic




Dateline: 23 September 2018, Pasay City

Gerome Soriano was one of 12 artists who were part of Resetting the Clock on exhibit at the fourth floor of the Cultural Center of the Philippines from 30 August to 21 October 2018. In the program notes, curator Con Cabrera explained that the exhibition "sets out to converge various artists who tackle photography in a linguistic manner and subvert the traditional presentation of the medium."

From within the exhibition, a statement from artist Soriano:
I started to be fascinated with circular objects around my home and work place when I was consumed by my day job and was unable to practice art. That frustration led me to take images of circles before and after work. I now use those images to create coded messages based on unpopular, easily misunderstood movements and philosophies that I am inclined to.
