Emmanuel Santos' Passing of Light II at Silverens
MANILA, Philippines -- In 2007, Emmanuel Santos exhibited "The Passing of Light," the first part of a series of photographs drawn from the holy scriptures of the Bible, the Torah, and the Koran. Santos returns to Silverlens with "The Passing of Light II: Book of Illumination." The show will have an opening reception on Feb. 12, Thursday at 6 p.m. and the exhibit will until March 14.
Santos will be giving an artist talk on Feb. 14, Saturday, from 3-5 p.m. on how music played an important role in the creation of the exhibition.
"Photography is my song, a monochromatic ballad of expressions between birth and death," says Santos. "A melodic song that appears like scenes devoid of dress rehearsal and images that were formed in the shadows of the earth’s surface… silent and mute, craving to be told. The chorus often lasts with unending refrain of joy and sorrow, a continuous pattern in human cycle."
