In LAND OF GODS & SHADOWS,  Rahman Roslan presents a  monologue of a continuing  visual thesis that explores presence and interaction.  It is an effort  to understand the body and the soul of  a scene – through glimpses, using multiple exposures  in multiple frames.   The 12  images exhibited were shot during frequent visits to Bali in 2010.

“ As a  frequent stranger to this land, Bali offers many surprises.  On my second visit,  I was able, due to familiarity, to capture images, people met, and landscapes touched, and the feeling of the breeze.  What  I see has more meaning now and grows from  the image, because from the visual I explore the multiple layers beneath.  Sometimes a beautiful marriage occurs between the ancient and contemporary, or the obvious and the subtle. These relationships, shadows, and realisation brought the mesmerising energy for this series. “    Rahman Roslan
