2010 National Photography Prize: Modern Narratives, Photography as Story Teller - Albury Art Gallery
Runaway Cache, a disconcerting optical illusion created as part of Aurelia's Masters research, has been selected as one of 36 finalists for this year's National Photography Prize. The exhibition has been curated by Dr. Isobel Crombie, Senior Curator of Photography at the National Gallery of Victoria. The exhibition runs from Friday 30th July to Sunday, 26th September 2010.
Aurelia's artist's statement about the work goes like this:
The long assumed link between photography and “the real” has been
dissolved by the proliferation of digitally manipulated imagery; it's often easier
and perhaps more comforting for a 21st century audience to assume an
unexpected photographic image is a fictitious digital construction.
To explore this idea of the fine line between photographic truth, photographic
fiction and the places in which they intersect I assemble optical illusions in
domestic settings and capture these strange little apparitions with a 4x5 view
camera. The stories they tell serve to remind us that it has always been our
perspective that shapes the truth.
The narratives explored within the images are drawn from early childhood
psychoanalystʼs descriptions of the magical worldview of very young children,
and are inspired by the visual language of manga and graphic novels.
