In a Vaulted Room: Works by Viki Wu and Neo Tang

In a Vaulted Room brings together the work of Neo Tang and Viki Wu, both fourth year students at Simon Fraser University.

Using a black and white photodocumentary style, Tang presents ten portraits of different women in his series Ten Sisters. However, the artist subverts the photodocumentary style through the use of ambiguity—he does not define the relationship between the photographic subjects, who do not appear to be biological siblings.

In addition to exploring the photographer/audience relationship, Wu is interested in investigating the way the world is presented beyond the borders of the picture frame. In her work, Wu uses mirrors and live cameras to reveal and invert the invisible presence of the photographer into a performer in the act of picture taking.
