For the CoLab exhibition 12 writers were asked to submit a piece of writing on the theme of‘ Change’, and the written pieces were then given to 12 visual artists who had not seen the writing before and were asked to create art pieces inspired by it. The pairings were anonymous and random, and Summer received a poem that inspired her to create a short film or“ visual poem” about facing crossroads in life, an experience, she says, many people can relate to. The film was displayed at Malja until the end of February and is also available on Summer’ s Vimeo page.
“ I believe in following your passion, and that’ s what lead me to the career path that I am in today and which I am very thankful for”, Summer says and adds that she looks forward to expanding her video production services while continuing to photograph families and work on commercial projects. She will also begin offering workshops in photography and video production as she gets a lot of requests to do.
Looking forward to curating Malja’ s second Open Call for photography, Summer’ s work is of the nature that will never cease to amaze an audience. Her keenness for capturing life through the lens is undoubtedly evident through her award-winning work and the top quality creations she continues to put forward. Whether she is capturing still images or commandeering on a film set, it is safe to say that Summer Ameen is a multimedia guru!
