Bencab impressions

Catalogue of Bencab’s solo exhibition in 2006, featuring works produced during his residency at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute . As noted by Ambeth R. Ocampo, ‘one arresting image from this exhibition depicts a Filipina nanny carrying a cute Caucasian baby. Originally shot at the turn of the last century, the same old image appropriated by Bencab manages to speak to us in the 21st century. A century has passed and Filipinas are still playing nanny to other people’s children both at home and abroad.’ Artist biography is provided in the present catalogue.
