“I covet rhythm & energy” — Zo Damage

I am a Melbourne-based visual artist. I love commuting around Melbourne on my bicycle, cameras in tow, where I use film photography to capture my everyday life and surroundings. My passion lies in exploring unconventional analogue photographic processes – such as making in-camera multi-exposures and experimenting with radical darkroom techniques – to challenge the representational truth of photography and constraints held within the frame. My work also investigates how installation can be applied as a spatial method to challenge the conventions of image in relation to body and place. My career as a live music photographer spans 20 years. From mosh pit to river bank, I aim to capture the juncture where energy and rhythm collide to express the immediacy of here-and-now experiences.
