Synopsis : Live Animals Inside! is how the photographer, Azril Ismail feels about, and describes, his precious photographs.

The works for this exhibition reveal a side of Azril which reflects his morbid fascination with life, and is a photographic diary of Pudu Jail.

The 50 photosgraphs capture a side of Pudu jail that not many have seen. After spending two and a half months observing the (by then) vacated Pudu Jail, Azril noticed that the prisoners who had occupied the cells had left their mark in more ways than one.

He realised that the more time he spent there, the more he could ‘feel’ the presence of the occupants of the cells, and connect to and understand them through their scratched messages, writing and drawings on the walls of the prison cells.

Azril Ismail, graduated in Photography and Media Studies from the Columbus College of Art and Design,Ohio in 2001.On returning to Malaysia in 2002 he attained his Masters in Photography from Uitm.

He has held numerous group exhibitions in the United States and Malaysia.This will be his first solo exhibition.

The artist will be conducting a walking tour through his exhibition on Sat 17 May 2008. Seating is limited so please call 03-22601106 to reserve a place. Admission is free.
