PARADOX
By Zo Damage

This exhibition delves into the interplay of fear, trust and hope through a collection of handcrafted analogue photographic works on paper. It offers an alternative view of the dynamic relationship between body and mind, creativity and everyday life experiences.

More than being a showcase, the exhibit encourages the viewer to engage with the real-time unfolding of thoughts, actions, emotions, and sensations, triggered by what strives to be a transformative artistic expression of the work. By deconstructing and reconstructing the photographic process, these works present a paradoxical perspective of photography, challenging conventional notions of representational truth in the medium and unveiling a deeply subjective interpretation of the world.

While some of these pieces have featured in various group exhibitions, this event marks the first time they will be presented in their entirety as a photographic sculptural installation. Each artwork engages in a dialogue with the others, weaving together a rich tapestry of shared experiences.

I invite you to join me on this expressive creative journey, exploring the beauty of the connections that bind us all, illuminated through the wonder of alchemical photography.

This project has been made possible by the support of C.R. Kennedy and Company and Ilford Australia.
