Slide & Tongue

Slide & Tongue is a synthesis of image and text that revolves around the theme of everyday minimalism. The images are characterised by geometrical lines and the use of colour.

A haiku, which accompanies each image, functions as a creative caption. Haiku was chosen because its compact form carries similarities to the minimal lines and emotive states evoked by the images​.

The title of the exhibition refers to the physical slideof childhood playgrounds, but it also considers the slide as a tongue;an implement of speech. This duality of speech-seeing frames the exhibition, allowing the photographs and haiku to engage each other in a reciprocal dialogue.
