The light draws along…

This exhibition offers fresh perspectives of photography from contemporary practices. Encompassing still and moving image, installation and sculpture, photography is presented beyond its formal traditions as encrypted images purposefully eluding easy categorisation. The artworks cross genres, resisting a narrow view of how photography is usually perceived.

Extrapolating photography for its potential to manipulate light, anti-lens dogmas, spatial parameters, movement, processes, and phenomenological experiences, the artists utilise camera(less) techniques to blur passive spectatorship into buoyant new forms of engagement. At times, the lens is turned back onto the audience as a form of mirror, both physical and psychological, returning the gaze to reflect on upon past and present.

The opening night, with speeches and a Welcome to Country, will be held at Incinerator Gallery alongside exhibitions Country is Calling, fruits, flowers and a psychoscape, and All these eyes were mine on Friday, 19 April, 6-8pm

Artist(s): Aaron Chirstopher Rees, Alex Walker and Daniel O’Toole, Cassie Sullivan, Danica Chappell, Justine Varga, Kirsten Lyttle, Pierra Van Sparkes, and Talia Smith
