    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    Phantasmagoria explores surveillance and spectacles through walking posture. Footage is taken daily from the Abbey Road Cam, a 24/7 webcam that captures the pedestrian crossing made famous by the Beatles’ album cover 55 years ago. Every day, pilgrims from all around the world follow the band’s footsteps and pose for a picture. This cultural icon activates the crossing to become a stage for “live” performances. Pedestrian figures are extracted to create installations that illustrates the dynamics between voyeurism and exhibitionism, as well as the viewer’s fascination with the moving image.

    Bio
    Dennis Ngan is an interdisciplinary artist from Hong Kong, currently based in London. He explores time, space, and image presentation through photography, moving images and installations. His works inquire how images are presented, concealed and consumed on the cyberspace, investigating surveillance and the spectacle. This enquiry is further expanded in his investigation of the history of photography and cinema, as he is captivated by the medium’s indexicality and authority to simulate and represent reality.
