Caught between the first world's every-increasing sophistication of imaging technologies and a third world culture of tech-piracy and make-do aesthetics, the Philippines offers a dynamic entry point to discussions on contemporary photomedia. 

Photography's ability to cross mediums, context and content - drawing onvideo framing, photo-journalism  and the immersion of global design - is the most powerful hybrid in its ability to penetrate mass audiences. Moving beyond the 'frame' as filter, the twelve artists in beyond frame expose local nuances, historic anchors, site-specific production and offer a picture on how a place is 'imaged' now.
