Ang Cum Laude ng Kalsada
“Dead City” Renato Barja Jr.’s 7th Solo Exhibition
Dead City is a series of short visual stories about underprivileged Filipinos.
I created images, taking off from what I feel about the people around me. These individuals are discarded but are an undeniable segment of our society. This is a story of how Filipinos accept the norms of everyday life, without fully understanding it- that we are in the middle of chaos, deaf and blinded by the ills of the government, the never ending media and political mudslinging, overlooked inner city population. We are in the brink of a social meltdown, what now?
Look around it is a Dead City.
