Thomas Hämén Work from Flatland. “If we were able to take, as the finest allegory of simulation, the Borges tale where the cartographers of the Empire draw up a map so detailed that it ends up exactly covering the territory (but where, with the decline of the Empire this map becomes frayed and finally ruined, […]

Sherwin Rivera Tibayan

Sherwin Rivera Tibayan Work from Installation Views. “After viewing many gallery and artist sites over the last few years, I became interested in the common photographic practice of installation views.
