“This sham humanity of the Moderns hides a barbarism of which their predecessors knew nothing.” Friederich Engels, 1843 Celebrating French art in Hong Kong, Opera Gallery presents CHAOS - a project installation by renowned French photographer Gérard Rancinan. The featured works tell a dramatised narrative of humanity’s battle between social order and chaos, inevitably falling into the fate of civil and moral degeneration. Influenced by major world movements of globalisation, religion, politics and the growing domination of the Internet, Rancinan gives a critical take through the eye of his lens. Rancinan’s work frequently appears in magazines such as Time, Life, and Paris Match and have been exhibited in museums including the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Danubiana Museum in Slovakia and Triennale di Milano in Italy.
