Knocking on every door in her hometown of Dookie (population 250) in rural Victoria and photographing people while at home or at work, Serana Hunt has compiled the documentation of an era from within her town.
Dookie Behind Doors correlates memory of people who have made a significant impact to the town’s history and identity. Since this project, some of the local subjects have passed away or moved into long-term nursing homes, while the transient nature of others have left having never really been seen within the community except for the legacy of their portrait.
This series was produced over the short span of a few months leading up to Dookie’s Regional Arts Victoria, Small Towns Transformation event, Dookie Earthed.
177 finished photographs were projected onto the town silos during the event.
This exhibition is a selection of printed photographs and a digital installation of the complete series.
