Head On Festival – Heterogeneous – An Exhibition by Ilana Rose

Studio Manager — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 04:31:54 +0000

Heterogeneous: adjective 1. different in kind; unlike; incongruous.

Photo-journalist Ilana Rose has been capturing images of subcultures for over 20 years. Her recent collection of works Heterogeneous continues this exploration, documenting those who are under-represented in mainstream society.

Intimate and revealing, these environmental portraits celebrate the diversity, creativity and wit of exotic individuals. Those who have decided to forsake the conventional in favour of self-expression – whose unique identities are gloriously articulated through dress and bodily adornment

Heterogeneous is a sequel to earlier works by Ilana collected by The Powerhouse Museum. Her works have been widely exhibited, as well as being held in permanent collections at The Powerhouse Museum, The Latrobe Picture Collection-The State Library of Victoria and in The City of Melbourne’s Art Collection. They have also appeared in publications such as The Age, The Australian, The Sydney Morning Herald, HQ Magazine and Rolling Stone.

Exhibition Date: 19 May – 3 June 2012

Naked or Nude
an exhibition by

Zelko Nedic

Zelko Nedic is a photographer with a penchant for somewhere inbetween perfection and the pathetic, pondering the unchartered territory of what might be, the slightly dirty side of the moment.

Nedic’s background is in hairdressing, styling & makeup artistry working with great artists & designers as Versace & Vivienne Westwood. His personal work has bought him to the fore working in 2010 with Head On to document the Mardi Gras Festival. His practice of documenting Sydney life saw him invited to submit & present work for the Australian Centre for Photography for the Subculture Slide night in March 2010. In 2011 Zelko Nedic was one of the finalist in Moran Contemporary photographic prize.

Dexterous
An exhibition by

David Young

David Young is an advertising, editorial and arts photographer who now works and lives in Byron Bay.

My current ‘fetish’ is for hands and feet and other abstractions around the female nude. Sensuality, mystery, beauty and humour are all expressed through the images. One of the influences in the work is from ‘pinhole camera’ imagery that has inspired me over the last year including my own experimentation with that technique. I am drawn to the painterly finish that transpires from this approach.

Exhibition Date: 4 May – 16 May 2012

Talvi
An exhibition by

Dan Freene

The air is bitter. Arctic. It’s cold and it hurts to breathe. The light is pure and so fleeting that you cherish every radiant glow available in this dark otherworldly land.

An alien drifts through the obscure landscape, guided by a Finnish Princess. The girl only knows too well this delicate barren place. Savour the atmospheric landscape, for it will be short lived. Revel in the ethereal luminous state of the tundra, it’s people, and it’s winter. The delicate balance of survival and the artfulness of life in the Finnish winter.

Head On Festival – Signature Time & Place, Iran – An exhibition by Nuran Zorlu

Studio Manager — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 07:07:17 +0000

Signature Time and Place – Iran

There are many faces that a country can project. The most obvious is the political face and in the case of the country of Iran, the most common portrayal of it’s face in the western press is of a strict religious and politically outcast state.

Unfortunately what does not get discussed very often is the cultural face of the country. Iran, being the latest incarnation of a centuries old Persian empire, engulfs so many distinct cultures and ethnicities. Today Iran actively engages in the preservation of all these varied heritages; something that sadly no other country in the region seems inclined to do. It is for this reason that as a member of one of those communities I have conducted a long term personal project to document artifacts and customs that have survived for thousands of years, but may well be on the verge of disappearing from my native regions of the Middle East.

In order to appreciate who we are as a society it is important to understand where we have come from and how we have created concrete artifacts that embellish our cultures. We need to reference the past in words, such as scriptures, song or poetry. We also need to do this visually. It may be painted artwork, sculpture, architecture or simply photographic representations of life style. It’s these visuals that I seek to preserve as the inevitable morphing of cultures takes place over time.

Nuran Zorlu Sydney based commercial and portrait photographer ,although he is a specialist in jewellery photography, likes to photograph variety of subjects from landscapes to cars , travel to portraits.
He is very passionate about preserving the cultural dignities, through his project he travels to Middle East to documenting areas which not very familiar to many people of the planet. With his photography and philosophy, he likes to create a bridge between this landscapes, architectural details and people to viewers.

Head On Festival – Impersonating Mao – An exhibition by Nathalie Daoust

Studio Manager — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 06:28:43 +0000

Impersonating Mao

The work of Montreal-born photographer, Nathalie Daoust, maps the blurred boundary between reality and imagination to explore ideas of fantasy and escape. For her new project, ‘Impersonating Mao’, Daoust focuses on the interior world of an impersonator who assumes the appearance and bearing of Mao Zedong, founder of the People’s Republic of China. Daoust’s portraits record her subject’s desire to flee reality and take refuge in a dream world of half-truth and illusion.

When Daoust first met her subject in 2008 – posing as Mao in Tiananmen Square as an act of personal homage – she was intrigued by his construction of an alternate identity from the iconography of his country’s troubled past. In 2010, she returned to Beijing and photographed the impersonator extensively, both in a domestic setting and at sites of historic importance. The juxtaposition allowed Daoust to interrogate communist China’s complicated relationship to Mao’s legacy, echoed in the internal negotiations of the impersonator as he transformed into Mao.

Shot on a stash of old Chinese film uncovered in Beijing, Daoust physically manipulated the negatives in the darkroom to create a dreamy mood of memory and illusion. Each print is sealed in amber-like resin; the resulting portraits combine a 21st century handling of perspective with a visual timelessness, reflecting Daoust’s preoccupation with the borders between contemporary reality and an imagined past.
