Surrealist mannequins, mythological heroes, a transgender Andy Warhol and an extraterrestrial pope. These are just some of the cast of characters assembling in this, the first of a two-part exhibition exploring artifice and theatricality in photomedia across the past century. Bringing together stunning work by contemporary Australian practitioners with that of acclaimed international artists from Man Ray to Cindy Sherman, the exhibition addresses the interface between fantasy and identity.

THIS EXHIBITION IS PRESENTED UNDER A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF AUSTRALIA.
