Patrick Pound: Infinite camera
Comprising found photographs grouped thematically and subjectively, Infinite camera re-stages key works from Patrick Pound's major solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition.
Pound challenges traditional notions of singular authorship by creating works from the amasses of found materials in his personal archives, which have been collected over years of obsessive and meticulous searching. His collections of found photographs and everyday objects (which the artist refers to as ‘things’) are indexed in groups according to specific characteristics, each containing their own highly subjective logic. As if the world is a puzzle to be solved, Pound forms complex arrangements and installations of images and objects from his archive, placing disparate images and objects into relation in order to create new relationships.
