PHOTOGRAPHS, ART GALLERY OF NEW SOUTH WALES

Tracing the existence of photography in Australia from

the 1840s to today, this exhibition from the Art Gallery

of New South Wales examined how the medium has

shaped ideas about our place and identity. Some 650

works by renowned artists and unknown photographers,

including everyday material such as family albums and

postcards, were sourced from more than 35 collections

across Australia, New Zealand and England.

Working across digital video, photography and sculpture,

Daniel Crooks explores the elasticity of movement in time

and space. Best known for his ‘time slice’ video technique —

slicing ribbons of varying thicknesses into a video stream

to create a lyrical displacement of time and space —

Crooks has extended his exploration into physical

space with three-dimensional sculptural works.
