The Hole Project
June 8 – 26, 1999
Exhibition, Artist Talk
About the Program
Har-Prakesh Khalsa's The Hole Project is an exhibition focusing on the human body and its orifices as gateways to consciousness. Each photograph portrays a body hole: eye, nose, ear, mouth, nipple, anus, or genitals. The resultant images are surprisingly non-voyeuristic but compellingly beautiful. Each body part reads like a flower. Khalsa speaks of yogic texts and the 'ten gates' of the body and the works speak to spiritual concerns. Much recent photography has focused on the body, often combining issues such as feminism, gay and lesbian concerns, AIDS, or cancer. Khalsa's photographs represent a new take on these concerns and a fresh new voice in Canadian photography. An artist talk was presented on June 10, 1999.Artist
