West Of Somewhere East exhibition explores Australian’s forgotten inside

A brand new exhibition by Drew Hopper, an everyday contributor to Australian Photography, is ready to open later this month.

Titled West Of Somewhere East, the sequence attracts on Hopper’s upbringing travelling throughout Australia, shaping a means of seeing knowledgeable by fixed motion and private expertise.

The work sits inside a post-documentary strategy that resists simple depiction.

Rather than documenting the Australian inside in a conventional sense, Hopper’s images discover notion, reminiscence, and environment. His photographs give attention to delicate particulars reminiscent of gentle, texture, and kind, bringing collectively fragments of roadside geometries, weathered surfaces, and quiet spatial tensions.

The result’s a subdued portrayal of the panorama, one which strikes away from spectacle and towards suggestion. Within what’s also known as the Great Southern Land, Hopper presents an Australia that feels each expansive and intimate, the place distance and resilience are evident and human presence is diminished to traces.

Balancing commentary with interpretation, West Of Somewhere East blurs the road between doc and picture. It gives viewers a reflective house the place place and reminiscence intersect, and the place the act of seeing turns into carefully tied to feeling.

West Of Somewhere East shall be on present at Yarrila Arts and Museum from Thursday 28 May to Sunday 28 June. You can discover out extra here.
