The Image Of A Place: Photographing The Memory Of Land
Photographs expand space. They open up gaps in our memories and emerge on the other side, part of a place that we will never be able to fully enter. A separate reality, a looking glass pointing to somewhere we love, a version of events where past, present and future converge to reveal their relation.
This is an exhibition based on the idea that landscapes can act as an archive and how land retains and shelters both our personal memories and communal histories. It is also a look at the participating photographers鈥� relationships to regions that hold meaning for them, and the transformations a space undergoes when it is photographed. 鈥濼he Image Of A Place鈥� refers to the idea of a conjured locality in our minds and the notion that certain iterations of a place will only ever exist within imaginations and images, always just beyond our reach.
Natural phenomena become carriers of a narrative that disappears as soon as it is approached. Four young photographers come together in an attempt to define the materials that make up their memory, treading between layers of time. Suspended on the verge of destruction or forgetting, the projects on display show the transformative processes that are constantly at work in the world.
