What is the colour of the night? From the
streets of thirties Paris, via New York swingers
clubs and the Hawaiian jungle to suburban Perth and
the Iraq War, this exhibition explores the ways in
which photographic processes have altered and
enriched our understanding of the night. It brings
together a dazzling array of historical and
contemporary photography exploring specifically
photographic qualities such as flash, the colour
intensification of long exposure, military
'night-vision' technologies, and the formal and
psychological metaphors for the nocturnal.
This exhibition is presented under a Partnership
Agreement with the National Gallery of Australia.
The NGA Partnership program aims to provide greater
public access to the Gallery's collection and marks
the continuation of an alliance with ACP.
