Xyza Cruz Bacani: Ancestors/Descendants

Past viewing_room
20 March - 20 April 2022

CHRISTINE PARK GALLERY is pleased to present Ancestors/Descendants, a solo exhibition featuring a new body of work by Xyza Cruz Bacani. This Online Exhibition presents a tightly curated selection of 24 photographs taken in the Philippines between 2020 and 2021 while Xyza Cruz Bacani was staying in her homeland documenting life during the COVID-19 pandemic. Wanting to spotlight the beauty of humanity during an unprecedented time and to document the events surrounding her, this exhibition showcases 8 color photographs taken in her village, Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya, and 16 black-and-white photographs from her iconic Project Ugnayan. Commissioned by Ayala Corporation, Project Ugnayan provided food aid relief to 2,837,367 families in the Greater Manila Area through the distribution of food vouchers and packages. Shot during the first months of the pandemic, Xyza Cruz Bacani’s Project Ugnayan series celebrates the generosity and courage of frontline volunteers who delivered food to those in need during this health crisis. Each photograph featured in the exhibition holds on to a moment in time, depicting the realities of pandemic life to show future generations.

 

This Online Exhibition aims to bring to life the narrative unfolded by Xyza Cruz Bacani, who published this Artist Statement recalling the times she spent in her hometown with her family and fellow villagers as they were engaged in a fight against the pandemic. A part of the Project Ugnayan photographs in this exhibition is currently featured in the duo exhibition, Pilipinas Ngayon. Filipinas ahora. at the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Madrid from 28 January to 12 June 2022, and will be shown in the Gallery’s art fair booths at Beijing Dangdai and Taipei Dangdai from 19-22 May 2022.

  • Being a transnational citizen means having my heart scattered in different places. It can be a gift, but the pandemic has made it almost a curse. When the pandemic started, I was in the Philippines on a short visit that turned 19 months away from my art community friends, and I felt isolated. My heart was broken repeatedly as news of friends, acquaintances, and community members succumbed to the virus.

  • Before Covid, I was a visitor to my own home, viewing it from an outsider's lens as I spent more time traveling and documenting different cities and countries. Since I left the Philippines to work in Hong Kong when I was 19, I have never really returned. The pandemic that upended lives forced me to stay and become part of my hometown. I returned to the place of my ancestors and started documenting the lives of the people I grew up with, our neighbors, and the place that was once just a memory.

  • The way I view the world has evolved because of the pandemic's uncertainties. When it started, I was as scared as everyone else, but I decided to document it because I am doing it for my descendants. I documented healthcare workers' who bravely combat the unseen enemy; women's issues like homebirth and farmers who suffer from food insecurity.

  • As an artist with the facts, I subscribe to the tradition and ethics of journalism. I let things happen and never intervene, but when documenting a pregnant woman who needed to be in the hospital. I felt at that moment that, given the circumstances, I needed to help. I was reminded that I am human first before I am a photographer. As an ancestor, the life saved that day is more important than an image.
