Gallery<\/a>. <strong>Ghosts<\/strong> is a series of photographs, sculptures and installations produced during his collaboration with Zimbabwean street vendors on a series of handmade replica AK47s. The outcome of the work is transcendent, otherworldly and illuminating though the surreal aesthetic bears a heavy weight with its political connotations and fluorescent warfare. Opening night for <strong>Ghosts<\/strong> is Saturday February 8, 6-9:30pm and runs until March 2, 2014, it is a must see.<\/p>\n<p>-Erin Leigh<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RZiman_Picture3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RZiman_Picture3.jpg\" alt=\"RZiman_Picture3\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19264\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RZiman_Picture3.jpg 864w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/RZiman_Picture3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-5.jpg\" alt=\"photo 5\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19255\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-5.jpg 640w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"photo 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19256\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-2.jpg 640w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-4.jpg\" alt=\"photo 4\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19257\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-4.jpg 640w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-3.jpg\" alt=\"photo 3\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19258\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-3.jpg 640w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo.jpg\" alt=\"photo\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19259\" srcset=\"http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo.jpg 640w, http:\/\/illsocietymag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/photo-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ralph Ziman is widely known for his video work with such artists as Michael Jackson, Toni Braxton and Ozzy Osbourne and he is the writer, producer and director for over 6 feature films including Hearts and Minds, the first independent movie completed after apartheid.
