Hailing from California, artist Amir Zaki (1974) is best known for for hybridized photographs using digital and analog technologies which explore the rhetoric of authenticity, vocabulary of documentary, and acts of looking and constructing images. As a place which effortlessly aligns itself with adventurous creatives, it isn’t surprising the artist has landed at The Slow for an exhibition entitled Flow Through Space. Opening Tue – Jun 16, the show anticipates current social distancing regulations and isn’t held at the property’s in-house gallery space, but outside at Canggu’s infamous shortcut, and as such, engaging with a bigger audience than ever before. On display alongside a short strip of road are 18 billboards which depict Zaki’s skatepark photographs. The photographs are eerily in sync with the current pandemic and capture scenes of empty skateparks across the Sunshine State. The show is also a collaborative effort with a string of local businesses as all billboards are owned by them.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
