Installation Stills explores the role of photographic documentation
in recent installation works by twenty artists based mainly in South
Australia. The exhibition focuses upon the relationships and tensions
between photographic and installation processes - investigating the
artistic legitimacy of the photographic image in the absence of an
original, live installation work. Offering a survey of recent
installation practice, this exhibition questions photography's
intervention and its subsequent position as a product of artifice. It
explores the role of photography in documenting and historicising
spatial constructs that have long since dissipated or been removed
from memory. In a social and cultural environment where memory and
the veracity of the camera image are omnipotently subverted by
technology, these works act as testament, chronicle and artefact.

Cry
Project Space
Cry is a parody of filmic horror and comedy within a home video
framework. Shot in small increments, it takes the form of a video
diary which documents the experience of an infant growing into a
child. The time-lapsed footage, taken over a 3 year period, is
juxtaposed with a second video presenting a comical, highly-styled
cat torture and murder scene starring a demented fictional character.
Cry presents a concurrence of themes: the body in a state of flux,
abject bodily functions, and morality documented within time based
media. In the end however rampant fantasies and a sense of absurdity
take over, mutating all possibility of rational thought.

e-Media Gallery
Stephen Honegger's work explores the tension and collision between
real and virtual spaces. In his new site-specific piece, Honegger
recreates the gallery spaces of the Centre for Contemporary
Photography - using gaming software and photographic texture mapping.
The screen depicts a first person perspective of someone breaking
into the building and accessing the storage space adjacent to where
the work is located in the e-media Gallery. All the while, a strange
beeping sound emits from behind the closed door of the storage room -
radically confusing our sense of what is real and what is simulation.
