(PHOTO)graphy is a conceptual still life project that re-examines the limitation of photographic image to the representation of reality, by treating photographs as surrealistic objects. Each work in this series attempts to accentuates the physicality of the photo paper. Through bending, cutting, burning and other ways of physical manipulation, I release the image from its 2 dimensional surface back into the 3 dimensional reality. In this way, I probe questions about the way we understand a photos, an visual artifect we has grown so accustomed to in its merely 150 years of existence, it has embedded into the common language in the contemporary consciousness.

Sheung Yiu is an independent photographer based in Hong Kong. His photography explores weirdness in reality, imagination and everything else in between. Using weirdness as his ‘device’, his temporary photographic sculptures subvert default truths and question their legitimacy.

His work is featured on various online photo magazines such as Ignant, Lintroller, Oitzarisme, ‘get addicted to...’, SFMOMA tumblr blog and Fotografia Magazine. He is shortlisted for Lucie Foundation Scholarship Program in 2015. He runs a tumblr blog (@Juxtaposter) and a website (www.sheungyiu.com). When he is not taking photographs, he is writing about photographs.
