North of the Lake
Daniel Rose
28/06/18 - 21/07/18
The Yellow Room
Opened Thursday 28th June at 6pm.
Join us for the opening of North of the Lake, an ongoing exploration of the relationship between self, camera and city; which combine to project subjectivity outwards in the form of the photographic image. Photography is utilised to generate a new imaginary, perhaps based on a receding reality, but it acknowledges that one cannot escape what Daido Moriyama calls the “original landscape”; a mental image of the first landscape someone becomes familiar with as a child. The qualities of which are both sought in new surroundings and cast from the camera onto foreign territories.
The resulting images are impressions of experience - a record of awareness. They document personal interactions and are influenced by psychogeographic forces of urban experience in Huangshi and Wuhan. Both cities located north of the Dongting Lake, in Hubei Province, China.
