Gino Javier

Gino Javier (b.1986) Javier’s work captures everyday life in the city. Using old film cameras, he takes images of people, things, scenes, and events typically encountered while walking the streets of Metro Manila, forming archetypes that describe a particular shared modern urban phenomenon. Printed on alternative surfaces that recall posters, flyers, and advertisements, his works explore aspects of mass reproduction, distribution, and consumption of images. Javier studied Architecture at the University of Santo Tomas and completed a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from the University of The Philippines College of Fine Arts.
