Edmund Pearce Gallery
Level 2, Nicholas Building 37 Swanston Street, Melbourne
Exhibition Opening: 6-8pm, Thursday 3 July 2014
Exhibition Dates: 2 - 19 July 2014

Jo Scicluna’s work was proudly printed by Peter Hatzipavlis at The PrintShop@PSC using our Fine Art Print services.

The exhibition adapts its name from the oldest existing camera photograph, View from the Window at Le Gras by Nicéphore Niépce.

With the ubiquity of the modern photographic image View from the Window attempts to highlight the need for considered reflection upon the place and value of current photographic practices. The artists respond to this by considering what ‘photography’ is, and in doing so re-shape, re-imagine, expand and break it down. They explore new thinking with traditional techniques and invent new methods of image making. The work is digital and analogue, flat and sculptural, conceptual and experiential, whole and fragmented. Despite all this, the photographic ‘idea’ remains – reshaping the way we see the world.

"I have always been dissatisfied with photography’s inextricable link with the past. My interest in photography is not motivated by the accumulation of documents, but rather in the medium’s intrinsic relationship to phenomena. When considering the ‘View From A Window’ as a premise, my work aims to implicate ‘the window’ as part of the view and challenge the nature of the photographic edge." Jo Scicluna
