EYES WIDE OPEN

The Annexe Gallery is proud to host EYES WIDE OPEN, a showcase of works by 28 notable photographers from Africa, England, Switzerland, China, Thailand, Japan, Germany, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Taiwan, Korea, Australia, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Singapore and Malaysia (Azril K Ismail & Eiffel Chong). The selection comes from the inaugural Singapore International Photography Festival held (SIPF) last year which featured 900 images culled from a total number of 6,600 submissions from all over the world. The exhibition presents a wide-ranging kaleidoscope of unforgettable images – from portrait to landscape, from artistic to journalistic – that documents each photographer’s search for the real and the sublime.

Photos are for sale. A catalogue of selected photographs featured in the SIPF will be available for sale during the exhibition for RM40 per copy.

ABOUT SIPF
“Through the SIPF, we hope to showcase the photographic talents in Southeast Asia and Singapore, and highlight their outstanding works to a wider audience, beyond their respective countries,” said Festival Director Gwen Lee. “There are many talented individuals right in our own backyards waiting to be discovered. We don’t have to look far and wide. SIPF wants to be the platform to draw them out and bring them to prominence.”
