Fotomoto continues to bring the contemporary Philippine photography scene to the mainstream art market with their latest exhibition 'Time Bubble'

Since its founding in 2021, Fotomoto PH—an organisation of photographers, artists, curators, and writers—has featured the works of 120 artists at exhibits and programs at 30 different locations around the country. At the time, their theme was centred on portraits—holding shows at various venues in Metro Manila, with a concurrent satellite show in Dumaguete. In 2022, they explored the theme of ‘home’—gathering artists locally and internationally. It was first exhibited at Parola, the UP Fine Arts Gallery and travelled to the BenCab Museum in Baguio in 2023.
