Unlike his Hometown Trilogy that explores the "intricate duality between the individual and the hometown", according to the curator, the work of the winning exhibition shifts its focus from Lahem to Sibei, a centuries-old village bearing witness to the ebb and flow of nature and life, and positions the artist "within a shared destiny with the land, mountains, and villagers, collectively confronting the scrutiny of nature's laws".
Lahem's exhibit at the Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival, which encompasses 32 exhibits, runs until Jan 21, 2024.
