Through her dark urban landscapes of empty streets & vacant disheveled building sites, Johanna Trainor’s photographic series “Australian Manufacturing’, captures the surreal singularity and fading vigor of these once dynamic & working inner city industrial suburbs. Her imagery whispers the silent demise of manufacturing in Australia. Paola Talberts’s captivating translucent assemblages of glass fragments, scavenged at low tide, are arranged in painterly constructions defining a topographic edge. Juxtaposed with underwater scenes that reveal and conceal the body in a diaphanous plastic, her photographic series “Gyre” exposes the fragile ecology of our oceans & foreshores.
Australia's world-leading photography festival once again filters photography down to its finest. The great thing is that Head On's main venues at Bondi and Paddington are just a bus ride away.
