ARTS | Photography exhibition by Ieong Man Pan opens at MAM

Unfoldable Map II, a photography exhibition by Macau-born Ieong Man Pan, is on display at the Macau Museum of Art (MAM) until May 10.
The artist showcases a series of street corners and back alleys, “faithfully representing images different from the banal urban stereotype,” MAM said in a statement.
Ieong Man Pan was born in Macau in 1985. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in advertising from Jinan University and a Master’s Degree in Photography Studies from the College of Arts of Chongqing University. He has previously displayed his works at the Albergue SCM and Casa Garden.
According to MAM, instead of addressing urban development issues, the photographer intentionally leads viewers to trace the city’s original landscapes, as he presents us with all the small details emerging from the city, which people tend to forget in their busy daily lives.
“His work prompts the audience to reflect upon the city’s history through an objective perspective, while triggering one’s imagination and future expectations,” MAM said.
The exhibition is organized by the Macau Museum of Art, as part of the Macao Arts Window 2015. Unfoldable Map II opened on Thursday with a sharing session and will run until May 10. The exhibition has a MOP5 entrance fee, but admission is free on Sundays and public holidays.
