Shareem Amry breathes new life into death through her photos


Shareem's work 'The Scale Of All Things' (silver gelatin print on matt fibre paper, 2017), which is part of 32 photographs at her exhibition called 'Redux.' Photos: Shareem Amry

Shareem Amry’s first solo photography exhibition Redux is a world where dragonflies, grasshoppers and moths are suspended in time, and at times, in ice. They are in bottles and jars, and embedded in ice sculptures, their intricate detailing very much present in these images.

Walk into The Print Room in Petaling Jaya this weekend and you will see more dead things: gecko skeletons and leaf skeletons, dried flowers, feathers, a baby octopus, and insects galore. No, this is not a science lab, although one could argue that film photography could be a precise science.
