synesthete


film


"Jacob Ring is a photographer whose gritty portrayal of even grittier urban environments oscillate effortlessly between colour saturated euphoria and eerie compositions with double exposed apparitions. We haven't been this impressed in a long time."

- Ashley Chang, Pedestrian TV


"Jacob Ring, sees the world differently. He has a neurological condition known as Synesthesia. For synesthetes; vision, texture and sound collide. By playing with light and shadows and saturating his images with areas of abstract color, Ring renders his alternate reality on a two dimensional plane, and in doing so, offers us some indication of how the artist himself sees and experiences his surroundings."

- Bianca Georgiou, interview for Absolut Vodka State of the Art Exhibition.
