PATRICK LIM: EXIT
The Second Camera As Magnifier Of Truth

Interpretation by Dr. Anuar Nor Arai

The lady in the room is well photographed. She has that lingering dark memories of sexual harassment at a young age, and could not bridge her emotionally arid consciousness towards the interrogator. It is from her pale face that the deep gloom of her past could well justify her words. She could take on the interrogator and all angles of the story and articulates the story around her and threatens the interrogator as the guilty one.

Patrick’s approach on photography that is bare and whole projects a discoloring of emotions that holds mysterious truth to be objectively and subjectively revealed between the two. And very wordy physical with her story the interrogator bends to register in his mind the reverted truth of himself. The reversal of truth strikes right into the core of truth – that the indefiniteness of truth itself is examined. Truth pulsates in words and could change perspectives within words.
