      About the Book

      Edit

      In 2014 an exhibition titled Photographic Abstractions toured regional galleries in Victoria into the following year. It included a number of modernist and contemporary photographers. The abstract effects the curators were interested in materialized through various techniques and approaches that challenge usual conceptions of photography and proposed a “photographic language” less concerned with documentation and more with sensual experience, triggering the imagination and questioning the way we look at life and our world. The photographers’ methods entailed cropping their images, employing unorthodox points of view, and focusing on formal and textural elements. Some even used experimental means to achieve their imagery, such as scanners or electronics, or they manipulated the photographic emulsion, or devised means of montage, with multiple exposures or collage. This range of approaches is also the focus of this monograph, which explores the obscured tradition of abstract photography in Adelaide from 1950 to 1975.
