Yasmin Than: The Fog Series

The work walks the fine line between eeriness and the mundane. The shots happen to be urban, metropolitan to be precise, but they seem rural, abandoned even vacant. The images convey visual creepiness that at times seems purely psychological, as if taken out of a nightmare or a Hollywood movie. Unintentionally they titillate towards a vacuum, as if time had stopped, a place where one doesn’t arrive or leave from, were one just is. By being there one can sense calm grow within, darkness giving way to beauty, one that grows out of nuances and subtlety, one which lets one wonder off, away from meaning and into the night.
