Large 8 photo exhibit




Dubbed as the biggest of its kind photo exhibit in Asia, the collection gathers eight of the country's top lensmen with abstract images gloriously presented on large format prints. Mall rats were astounded by its sheer size and got lost in a frenzy of photo snapping.The crowd then became one with the images.

"Open your eyes to what eight artists see with their hearts: photographic art, like passion, has no limits. It is infinity itself."

This series was taken on the last day of The Block SM City North Edsa leg of the travelling exhibit, April 22, 2007.
