Silent Blessing was my first solo show at Jam Bar, Bangkok. June 21 – July 14 2019. The show was made exclusively of Cyanotypes that I handprinted, a technique I learned this year for my class Analogue Photography.

SILENT BLESSING — ARTIST STATEMENT Hunting the sacred and the damned, Silent Blessing explores the relationship between photography and spirituality in a world saturated by images. For his first solo show, Gabriel Camelin chose to work with Cyanotype photography, a 19th Century alternative technique famous for its blue monochrome, to create a series of mystical portraits and haunted Bangkokian notorious buildings. Inspired by the people and places he met in Bangkok, Gabriel’s work combines anachronic image manipulation techniques with a pinch of aura, a drop of grief and a teaspoon of absurdity. Silent Blessing undertakes the creation of relics to worship… or to despise.
