Photographer Juan Caguicla and artist Christina Dy come together for STEREO 1, the first part of two series marrying Caguicla’s edgy photography and Dy’s large-scale but intimate drawings. STEREO 1 shows Caguicla and Dy unite to produce an altogether new and grotesque image.
The show derives its name from mutual friend Raymond De Veyra, who describes the work as “Stereoscopic!”

Caguicla and Dy unlock the connection between the two mediums as they expose the play between image symmetry and their artistic differences, between sameness and distinction. “During its infancy and throughout history, photography, one way or another, to a degree, referenced classical art (painting drawing, sculpture, etc.) for some semblance of guidance and vice-versa, STEREO 1 just blurs the distinction between [photograph and drawing] but still manages to offer a clear line to separate them on a single plate”, explains Caguicla.
