Exhibition: After the Gold Rush – Victorian Landscape

Landscape is one of the foundational genre’s of photography. XYZ Gallery presents a contemporary survey of work done in and of the Victorian bush. We bring together ten photographers who’s relationship with landscape varies as do their photographic processes. Not only is this exhibition of different but equally beautiful images the prints span a range of the media, from 19th century processes, cyanotype and photogravure, through 20th century, like silver gelatin and lith prints to current ink jet prints. The work also comes from different perspectives, some to capture beauty, others to question our relationship with the natural, to show extremes and our relationship with landscape.

Photographs by: John Gollings, Harry Nankin, David Tatnall, David Rosendale, Aldona Kmiec, Indya Connley, Shane Booth, Ian Kemp, Jackson Low & Garrie Maguire.
