“Clang traces his mind around every image.”
- Drenched Co.
Comment: "In Singapore, John Clang renders projected photos of his family and friends in charcoal before rephotographing them. His exhibited images, several steps removed from his subjects, are to me an investigation into the magical powers of his camera, a tool to catch the real from the illusory, the substance from mere appearance, and perhaps even the good from the evil. In the end though the photograph as index merely reflects human subjectivity and error in the self reflexive production of art from art and becomes entwined with the whole problem of time. I didn't love them. " - FaSa
