Fotomoto x Orange Project
“Sa Dulo ng Dalampasigan"
“Sa Dulo ng Dalampasigan” means the extent of our shores. And this exhibit is proof that such a place is washed over—blurred beneath a countrywide surf. That there is little distinction between what is shore and what is not—that it is almost like looking out at the blue, and determining where the ocean becomes horizon, and where horizon becomes sky...

The Philippines is one of the few megabiodiverse countries on our entire planet. Nature weaves a tapestry of interconnected microscopic and macroscopic universes. Shifting winds, lunar cycles, coral reefs, fishing boats, and fallen leaves, all play in an integral dance of magic, wonder, and decay.
From the towering canopies of the mountains in Mindanao, to the intricate coral reefs that adorn Palawan's ocean floor, to the cosmic bodies that inspire myths of creation, death, and rebirth, influence our thoughts and regulate the tides embracing our archipelago, each ecosystem uniquely reflects humankind's deep and complex sense of connectivity.

FOTOMOTO22: Home
HOME… For some, it is a sense of place, a dwelling. For others, it is as abstract as a feeling, a relationship, or a ritual.
Emerging from lengthy isolation periods, working and studying from home, migration, or displacement, the past two years have forced us to reconsider our perspectives, disrupting and then redefining the confines of home.
FotomotoPH invited photographers and artists to submit their own visual interpretations under this theme, as they explore their own definitions of home.
SILVER, the Official Printer of FotomotoPH, produced over 450 large format, fine art prints for the inaugural exhibition in UP Parola, and the succeeding shows in The Orange Project in Bacolod and the BenCab Museum in Benguet.
