OPPOSITES ATTRACT

Viviane Sassen for Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival

Combining human figures and naturalistic elements photographer Viviane Sassen, born and bred in Amsterdam, portrays through her work a vision of Africa and perception of the world around us, as part of the Dynamic Landscape exhibition at MOCCA Gallery. On until May 31st (please get there this weekend!), this powerful display of captivating imagery depicts a story of an intimate yet distant connection of a place that leaves you with a sense of hope, yet despair. Telling this story through bold colour, engaging environments and a hint of mystery, this exhibition will show this viewer different perspective of the way they view the most simplistic of surroundings.
