EMERGING WAVE

Wawi Navarroza at Emerging Wave
The ASEAN-Korea Contemporary Photo Exhibition 2010
GoEun Museum of Photography, Busan, June 18 - August 8, 2010

In Emerging Wave, ‘a comprehensive exhibition showcasing contemporary photography from Southeast Asia that reflects trends in the international art world’, Navarroza ‘recreates Frida Kahlo’s work of passion and pain’. Navarroza re-imagines herself as the iconic Kahlo with self-portraits ‘that convey a powerful message, surreal as the original paintings, about the will to live.’

Joining Navarroza at Emerging Wave to represent the Philippines is Bea Camacho. In her performance piece Enclose, which lasted eleven hours, ‘she created a “red cocoon” that envelops her entire body to portray an artist struggling for change.’
