A visual deconstruction of the process of photography in Lam Pok Yin’s and Chong Ng’s Untimely Apparatus of Two Amateur Photographers.
As technology advances and camera designs continue inadvertently hiding many of the processes that influence the process of capturing three-dimensional reality in two-dimensional photographs, it becomes more and more difficult to understand the impact and the restrictions enacted by the many details involved in the act of photography.
In Untimely Apparatus of Two Amateur Photographer, Chinese artists Lam Pok Yin & Chong Ng (self-professed amateur photographers) explore, deconstruct, make visible, and rethink the fundamental elements of photography in an attempt to raise literacy of one of the most impactful media of our time.
