They are sitting on bleachers from top to bottom, facing the camera, but it's pretty hard to see them. Instead of their face, appears a halo of intense light. Poklong Anading asked
to people he met in the streets to gather and to hold a circular mirror reflecting the sun light toward his camera. The Filipino artist started this series called Anonymity in 2004. The first in the series, Counter Acts (2004), was acquired for the Guggenheim Collection thanks to the Guggenheim UBS MAP Purchase Fund in 2012. In Art Basel Hong Kong's Insight sector, Anading shows a selection of works from this series on Manila's gallery 1335Mabini's booth. In these photos the artist reveals the part of anonymity in every individual, even if every one brings his own light to the world. The choice of black & white photography gives to these images a timeless dimension. In 2009, Anading did a project related to Honk Kong, a tribute to his mother who was a domestic worker there. In this video entitled Ocular, the artist came back to the places his mother shot with her camera in the city, dealing with another kind of disappearance.
他們就定位，從下到上，面對著相
機鏡頭，但我們看不到他們；強光遮擋了
他們的臉部。波克隆·阿納丁（Poklong
Anading）請他在街頭遇到的人聚在一起，
各自手持一面圓鏡，對著鏡頭反射太陽光。
菲律賓藝術家自2004年開始進行這項名為
《匿名》的系列，第一件作品《反行為》
（2004）於2012年得力於古根海姆美術館瑞
銀MAP典藏基金，成為古根海姆美術館的收
藏。香港巴塞爾藝術展“亞洲視野”展區，
馬尼拉畫廊1335Mabini展位將展示阿納丁此
系列多件作品。在這些相片上，藝術家揭露
每一位個人身上所擁有的匿名性，儘管每個
人都帶著自己的光來到這世界。黑白攝影使
這些影像流露一種永恆感。2009年，阿納丁
創作了一個與香港有關的項目，向曾在香港
當家傭的母親致敬。在這件名為《目鏡》的
錄像中，藝術家返回母親用相機在這座城市
拍攝的地點，探索了另一種消失
