Ernest Goh

Pobeda gallery, Moscow

The exhibition will be presented in a new gallery venue in Gum. Even capturing photographic portraits of the animals Goh pay attention first of all to a psychological relationship between pets and their human masters. Humans tend to like to anthropomorphize animals and soon after consider their pets to be part of the family and looked upon them as a member with a character and soul. The photographic portraits are meant to capture that human-like character projected onto them by their owners. In religion and mythology anthropomorphism is shown in the perception of divine beings that look like humans. Some of the chickens pictured in the "Cocks" series present a special Malaysian breed known as Ayam Seramas. Serama breeding clubs are a very strong cultural phenomenon in Malaysian villages. Seramas are prized for their build, size, behavior and showmanship by their owners and competitions or beauty contests as they are often described are held almost every week in at least one village in Malaysia.
