Five exhibitions

Centre for Contemporary Photography - CCP, Fitzroy

Robin Fox
Gallery One

The Proof of Concept series emerges out of Robin Fox's practice spanning seven years as an audio-visual performance artist exploring the area of synaesthesia via electrical signal equivalence. These explorations focus on the conversion of sounding electricity into visual electricity using oscilloscopes and laser projectors to facilitate the visualisations.

The use of both mediums requires that a single light source move with enough speed to create persistence of vision, allowing for the emergence of solid two- and three-dimensional correlates to the sound algorithms. In this series of photographs, sounding algorithms are visualised using laser light and captured using long exposure to allow for the light to trace across the recording medium. The result is a time-distilled snapshot of the sampling space.

The photographs represent after-images, slices of time that contain these algorithms, which have their genesis in sound. Displayed in a linear sequence, the photographs are a silent witness to this process.

Valerie Sparks. This Weather
Gallery four

This project is the second installment within the wider this weather series. Valerie Sparks is interested in the potential of digital photography to bring together multiple locations and times, and how this new technology can be used to defy and contravene rules of perspective and visual logic. Digital technologies enable the creation of visual fields that include details existing on multiple planes beyond our natural vision, sampling and combining different seasons, times of the day and habitats to create seamless yet impossible environments.

These images are not available to us in the physical spaces in which we live, but perhaps reflect our lived experience of the complex interconnections within global systems. this weather focuses specifically on the growing anxiety surrounding environmental change and erratic weather patterns—to which we are vulnerable—as well as the beauty, seductiveness and sense of danger of the sea.

CCP Shop Space

This project presents the 'shocking reality' of Giotto's employment of the third dimension through reinterpreting one of his painted structures as a sculptural 1:1 scale model. The casing of the work is also a subtle reference to the profile of a dissected camera. The main room of the camera depicts a single captured moment—dense and heavily involved with craft and the reality of the time spent creating it. In the lens is another arrangement that will soon replace the former. Through reconstructing Giotto's structure and enclosing a camera's single frame within it, the artist considers the position—within the multitude of images—of an individual's craft or reality.

KIRON ROBINSON Still Counting (Don't Forget Me Again)

I hold on, I want to hold on, I want to be held on to, I want to be held too, I want to hold on to.
Looking beyond 'The End' while not actually being there is tricky business. So to pretend that 'The End' is not there, I go about the business of securing my ever present. This is slightly less tricky although to do so without considering 'The End' is problematic.
