the thing is, nowadays, we as the viewer, tend to pigeonhole visual art-forms as 'this-n-that' based solely on visual appearance/stereotype.
like for example, as AZhou have stated above, "It's not like doing lousy out of focus picture and call it abstract!"
i believe studying the artistic intent on the part of the 'artist' is also important.
in zaren's case, i believe he's just saying he is applying the 'idealogy' or 'philosophy' behind minimalism art to his PAD project. no need to get so worked up AZhou :bsmilie:
but if u insist on classifying his work, yes, i believe the correct term to use is 'post minimalism', as they are a reaction to minimalism (thanks for teaching me about that, AZhou!) as usual, wikipedia puts it so eloquently "In visual art it refers specifically to artists who utilise minimalism either as an aesthetic or conceptual reference point from which to develop. The term does not refer to a particular movement but rather an artistic tendency"

What is it?
it's art
:bsmilie:yeah, i got it correct. Last time when I was still not into photography, I asked stereobox how to do it. He said it's a photoshop work but i insist it's a slow shutter speed.zaren said:Angel, i really enjoy your work and Stereobox's work as well.
Ah...the human abstract picture... think it might be fun to try that slow shutter backlit panning again sometime!
Anyway glad you like our work as well.

I'm not getting work up at all, honey. I just stating what I wish to say. Perhaps it's just me.
My favourite line about description in wikipedia about post minimalism would be "This term does not refer to a particular movement but rather an artistic tendency." I treat art genre more to artistic tendency - something like attitute, identity of personality - rather than theoritical stuff you follow for the sake of 'being with theory' - be it as guideline or whatever.

thx for the comments everyone
spectrum got it right. it's actually a hook screwed into the wall. this was shot with a flashlight for lighting that made a circular light ring around the hook. by inverting the image, the "hole" appeared behind the hook. next i swapped the colours in PS and ended up with a skin-coloured hook and bg which seems to resemble some part of the anatomy. (e.g. an ear, or a bent finger). i called it photographic freakism because i wanted to explore how a juxtaposition of textures on everyday objects would make the viewer uneasy. something along the lines of the "fur-lined teacup". an artistic tendency towards surrealism i think? (need Azhou to confirm this).
