When we first begin to make images it is to
those around us that we turn for a subject; first
the self and then family and friends. 'Close
Relations' explores the territory between
photographers and the subject with whom they are
particularly intimate - their lovers, their
children, their parents - those people with
whom they create 'family'. 'Close Relations'
suggests a map of the many kinds of portraiture
possible within photography and simultaneously
covers, in the often mundane incidents recorded,
both the exquisite joys of love and the deep abyss
of loss.

Nineteen
Sixty-Three: News
& Information A photographic installation of
one hundred images
Gallery Two
Martyn Jolly
'Nineteen Sixty-Three' is an idiosyncratic visual
archaeology of Australia's recent past. Martyn
Jolly has worked in the Australian Archives amongst
a series of some 100,000 photographs which mostly
come from the Australian News and Information
Bureau. He has sifted through several thousand
images taken in 1963 looking for sharp visual
shards from the past. He has then used a high
resolution scanner to isolate and enlarge selected
details from these photographs concentrating on
gesture, unconscious body language, the folds and
creases of clothing, the juxtaposition of patterns
and surfaces, and the orientation of objects within
architectural space to produce these 100 new
images.
