The work explores belonging and how souvenirs shape collective memory by transforming a familiar souvenir into a fragmented yet unified message. https://khimhpl.com/Anak-ng-Lupang-Hinirang-1 Sun, 16

photographic images that use the body and symbolic objects tied to Filipino national identity to capture a profound and intimate feeling of patriotism and nationalism. As a Filipino national who lives and works in Canada, I am aware of the heavy history of colonization here; this series&nbsp; explores the complicated history of colonization in the Philippines and the way in which this history has infiltrated our national identity. The Philippine flag, the panuelo, reflects the legacy of the Spanish Colonizers. The Crown symbolizes beauty pageants which come from the influence of the American colonizers, reinforcing Western beauty standards. These objects, integrated with the body, pay homage to Filipino national identity and employ the conventions of familiar tropes of this identity to rearticulate and question each icon and the histories it bears. The body performs together with the symbols subverting the object’s standard, patriotic reading. As a result, the images encourage viewers to question the subjects’ origin and the true meaning of the objects they hold.This project was made possible by the Audain Travel Award Prize. @audainprizeand Shumka Centre for Creative Entrepreneurship @shumkacentre https://khimhpl.com/Oh-Canada Fri, 08 Sep 2023 19:42:29 +0000 KHIM MATA HIPOL https://khimhpl.com/Oh-Canada OH CANADA2023 - ongoing <img width="1828" height="2285" width_o="1828" height_o="2285" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c7e654ce81b6dc8fe2393dd4798b0a987210ae97adcf23bf28092e8bf943be55/khimhipol221105_5313-Edit.jpg" data-mid="190201200" border="0" data-scale="62" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c7e654ce81b6dc8fe2393dd4798b0a987210ae97adcf23bf28092e8bf943be55/khimhipol221105_5313-Edit.jpg" /> Oh, Canada is an extension of Anak ng Lupang Hinirang (Child of the Chosen Land), a series Khim Mata Hipol began in 2021, in which he pairs his body with symbolic objects tied to Filipino national identity to explore his relationship to country and culture. InOh Canada, he extends this body of work to include his experience as a Filipino-born artist living and working in Canada and someone who recently acquired Canadian citizenship. He embodies this experience by swathing himself—head covered, face obscured—with the Canadian flag, the ultimate symbol of national pride. By presenting the flag-draped rather than erect and obscuring this identity, Hipol subtly alludes to some problematic aspects of Canadian history, including its colonial history. https://khimhpl.com/Lupang-Hinirang-Oh-Canada Sun, 11 Aug 2024 15:08:47 +0000 KHIM MATA HIPOL https://khimhpl.com/Lupang-Hinirang-Oh-Canada LUPANG HINIRANG:OH CANADA2021 <img width="4016" height="5099" width_o="4016" height_o="5099" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0545c48fd44e8762c81d510e1c8f7e70977eba65f798db4816cb594f2031cc28/khimhipol220909_6121.jpg" data-mid="216180837" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0545c48fd44e8762c81d510e1c8f7e70977eba65f798db4816cb594f2031cc28/khimhipol220909_6121.jpg" /> <img width="4016" height="5112" width_o="4016" height_o="5112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5d309b47de8c7aec6305ddb91df0029259f0011d9a236f8704ece8e90172aac3/khimhipol220909_6125.jpg" data-mid="216180839" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5d309b47de8c7aec6305ddb91df0029259f0011d9a236f8704ece8e90172aac3/khimhipol220909_6125.jpg" /> <img width="3951" height="5067" width_o="3951" height_o="5067" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7314bef0be6e5c4ca56c9b2fc22b74a94ec059c719da1f28f44fc3765e7bf566/khimhipol220909_6129.jpg" data-mid="216180840" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7314bef0be6e5c4ca56c9b2fc22b74a94ec059c719da1f28f44fc3765e7bf566/khimhipol220909_6129.jpg" /> <img width="3930" height="5103" width_o="3930" height_o="5103" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/360ee08057c3d729b12e4767f7852b61c4be6f914e366a47d415a3b6a313402f/khimhipol220909_6136.jpg" data-mid="216180841" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/360ee08057c3d729b12e4767f7852b61c4be6f914e366a47d415a3b6a313402f/khimhipol220909_6136.jpg" /> https://khimhpl.com/Balat-Balat Wed, 20 Mar 2024 03:07:24 +0000 KHIM MATA HIPOL https://khimhpl.com/Balat-Balat BÁLAT : BALÁT2023- 2024 <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/283267158ff9ae07df93a0701f465e5b0b4dec82629ca382924c7994c22124b6/khimhipol240224_3.jpg" data-mid="207169188" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/283267158ff9ae07df93a0701f465e5b0b4dec82629ca382924c7994c22124b6/khimhipol240224_3.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38249f1cc91c7c698d966908a6c167a88aae4ddbe3391ad2c435de1f9cd910ab/khimhipol240224_5.jpg" data-mid="207169189" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38249f1cc91c7c698d966908a6c167a88aae4ddbe3391ad2c435de1f9cd910ab/khimhipol240224_5.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc1d889ce0aa5db6fd0b2b28756039475d0596c87cb825f867bf8c80871520b5/khimhipol240224_.jpg" data-mid="207169186" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc1d889ce0aa5db6fd0b2b28756039475d0596c87cb825f867bf8c80871520b5/khimhipol240224_.jpg" /> <img width="1680" height="1680" width_o="1680" height_o="1680" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b46cf2751d6013ab9c16eebac75af41c577da96aef6b1f2b453311613994845/pin--3.jpg" data-mid="216170717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b46cf2751d6013ab9c16eebac75af41c577da96aef6b1f2b453311613994845/pin--3.jpg" /> <img width="1680" height="1680" width_o="1680" height_o="1680" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/642e78da888905dfaf3fc2ea59c5c4577d9536d2b38f8ffad2fd97edd3f93f98/PINAS--3.jpg" data-mid="216170715" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/642e78da888905dfaf3fc2ea59c5c4577d9536d2b38f8ffad2fd97edd3f93f98/PINAS--3.jpg" /> <img width="1680" height="1680" width_o="1680" height_o="1680" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f83a44314f8cb0e80a09136cad313a4b827469bf121fe0331fc2f9dfaa4ea6c0/pin--2.jpg" data-mid="216170716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f83a44314f8cb0e80a09136cad313a4b827469bf121fe0331fc2f9dfaa4ea6c0/pin--2.jpg" /> Bálat:Balát &nbsp;delves into themes of identity, patriotism, and nationalism.

Despite being perceived as Canadian by many, the artist grapples with the intricacies of defining oneself as both Filipino and Canadian, existing in a liminal space where the concept of balát (skin) serves as a metaphor for the intertwined layers of identity.This project was made possible by the Audain Travel Award Prize. @audainprize https://khimhpl.com/Shining-Shadow Wed, 20 Mar 2024 03:35:58 +0000 KHIM MATA HIPOL https://khimhpl.com/Shining-Shadow SHINING SHADOW 2023 <img width="960" height="1200" width_o="960" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15c01adfae1bf6746bb42b248501976d6c6e92a5863e2037995d9b472adccaba/KHIMHIPOL--JO--2022--Archival-Inkjet-Print--76.2cm-x-60.96-cm--Courtesy-of-the-Artist.jpg" data-mid="207169861" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/15c01adfae1bf6746bb42b248501976d6c6e92a5863e2037995d9b472adccaba/KHIMHIPOL--JO--2022--Archival-Inkjet-Print--76.2cm-x-60.96-cm--Courtesy-of-the-Artist.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; https://khimhpl.com/Portraityal Mon, 15 Jan 2024 20:43:25 +0000 KHIM MATA HIPOL https://khimhpl.com/Portraityal SHINING SHADOW 2023 <img width="1000" height="1250" width_o="1000" height_o="1250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2938686bc56e8117ce66a771904b4b6674e31788af99fc8e4c6fbeba1a652e3a/khimhipol211112_9886-2.jpg" data-mid="201825785" border="0" data-scale="62" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2938686bc56e8117ce66a771904b4b6674e31788af99fc8e4c6fbeba1a652e3a/khimhipol211112_9886-2.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1498" width_o="1000" height_o="1498" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/48c54481485aa6183a50b6edb195d73c174f9c5c4328a072b35e5ebe10e94dd9/khimhipol211114_0049.jpg" data-mid="201825791" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/48c54481485aa6183a50b6edb195d73c174f9c5c4328a072b35e5ebe10e94dd9/khimhipol211114_0049.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea20535edab9a39708a828dc8e0ba4b45d0f0ada064106cd7c2ffbd449d3d51e/khimhipol211121_1113.jpg" data-mid="201825803" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea20535edab9a39708a828dc8e0ba4b45d0f0ada064106cd7c2ffbd449d3d51e/khimhipol211121_1113.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1498" width_o="1000" height_o="1498" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02fc52ceafdeb78ac86de4265da6d541a4d9cf30c0d2383fa781f984d8c626f8/khimhipol211114_0196.jpg" data-mid="201825793" border="0" data-scale="60" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02fc52ceafdeb78ac86de4265da6d541a4d9cf30c0d2383fa781f984d8c626f8/khimhipol211114_0196.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1500" width_o="1000" height_o="1500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42dd3665d7179f84c8b3eb72094a660b043b4a4ad23492a6eb02b563810be827/khimhipol211114_0313.jpg" data-mid="201825796" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42dd3665d7179f84c8b3eb72094a660b043b4a4ad23492a6eb02b563810be827/khimhipol211114_0313.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1000" width_o="1000" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a2ea72c3a1ecf924066179c161b83e8ad63c1636027f60ee282faa6986aaf74/khimhipol211121_1077.jpg" data-mid="201825799" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a2ea72c3a1ecf924066179c161b83e8ad63c1636027f60ee282faa6986aaf74/khimhipol211121_1077.jpg" /> <img width="1000" height="1498" width_o="1000" height_o="1498" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e238fc25484940f71920438db6ef031e519887c695912846938331929761201/khimhipol211121_1289.jpg" data-mid="201825804" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e238fc25484940f71920438db6ef031e519887c695912846938331929761201/khimhipol211121_1289.jpg" /> Portraityal is a series of self-portrait images that creatively explore Filipino idiomatic expressions. Each piece in this project visually interprets a specific phrase, capturing its unique cultural essence. Filipino idiomatic expressions are distinct in how they reflect and playfully poke fun at Filipino culture, often centring around childhood upbringing, street language, and everyday life. While these phrases can humorously describe individuals, they also offer insight into daily experiences. Through Portraityal, playful gestures and expressive self-portraits bring the vibrant meanings of these idioms to life, transforming language into vivid visual storytelling.
