Flower Flies Mimic Wasps: Rachel Rillo

Rachel Rillo is exhibiting “Flower Flies Mimic Wasps” from 27 November to 20 December 2023 at SLab. By using time-honored camera techniques in the day and age of digital editing, Rillo dissolves the gap between the subject and print surface of photography. She reaffirms its object-ness as it once was.
 
Rachel Rillo worked in Los Angeles for 15 years as a freelance photographer for a television agency. And upon her return to Manila, she became a central figure to the, then emerging, Contemporary Photography movement. It was her practical skills and knowledge that helped redefine local perspectives.
