Portrait

Chromogenic print

101.5 x 76 cm

Daniel Gordon describes himself as a photographer, “as straight as you can get”, before throwing a spanner in the works by adding that what he’s photographednever really existed. It’s the act of photographing that brings things into existence.

By way of explanation, he relates a

story of seeing a woman step on a

pile of baby birds, though it turned

out to have been a heap of shredded

cardboard. The feeling he tries to

convey in his work is the one felt in

such a moment, when things

suddenly turn out to be not what

you’d thought they were.

Lipps’ dream-like Home series also deals with the past and another kind of yearning: the call of the wild.Father-�gure Ansel Adams makes his appearance on this stage in the form of his Yosemite pictures, fragments of which �oat like clouds through mundane but reassuring domestic interiors – the maternal domain.

Old Mask VIII

2006

Collage

24.5 x 19.5 cm

John Stezaker’s work re-examines the various relationships to the photo-graphic image: as documentation of truth, purveyor of memory, and symbol of modern culture. In his collages, Stezaker appropriates images found in books, magazines, and postcards and uses them as ‘readymades’.

Through his elegant juxtapositions, Stezaker adopts the content and contexts of the original images to convey his own witty and poignant meanings.

Screen print on birch plywood

Beginning each of his screen prints by making a collage, David Noonan brings together an eclectic array of found imagery – sourced from �lm stills, books, magazines, and archive photos – to create dramatic scenes that suggest surreal narratives.

Meredyth Sparks enjoys exploring the zone between �guration and abstraction across a variety of subjects for which a plethora of images already exists: musical subcultures (bulimic inthe idolatory-image department), thehistorical avant-garde and what she calls the “ever-evolving legacies of labor and gender-based issues”

Like a number of her fellow artists in Out of Focus, she allows her works to step out of conventional frames and spill across �oors and walls in quasi-Constructivist style, following El Lissitzky’s realization that the picture frame had become too narrow for representations of ‘the new reality’.
