Site Unseen
As part of Open House Melbourne, CCP presents Site Unseen – a group exhibition of architectural photography.
Curated by photographer Tom Ross, the exhibition sees sixteen Australian photographers explore the potential that is unlocked when architecture is viewed as subject rather than object.
To view architecture photography as objective documentation is to ignore the photographer’s point of view. What does the photographer bring to the image, and indeed, is the photographer’s presence welcome?
Site Unseen aims to communicate the emotional experience of place, as well as the diversity that exists in architectural and built form photography, in medium, typology, and the photographic community itself. In a time when architecture representation is being narrowed to imagery of persuasion, perhaps this work can serve as a reminder of the sincere exchange between people and the built environment.
