'Bayangnya itu Tmbul Tenggelam, that which appears and recedes from view, is a survey of the cultures that developed around photography and its relationship to Malaysia. The exhibition invites us to discover the different values and meanings that people have invested in the photographic image through the years, in an attempt to explore an alternative understanding of the complex modern history of photography.
The exhibition does not aim to offer a 'history' of photography in the conventional sense. Instead of tracing the "evolution" of camera technology or presenting a chronology of artistic movements, the exhibition highlights how photographs gained new dimensions and meanings through the different ways they were used, collected and displayed.' - from the back cover
