when: 21 November 2024 - 14 December 2024 | venue: Stanley Street Gallery | cost: Free | address: 1/52-54 Stanley Street, Darlinghurst NSW 2010Stanley Street Gallery presents Zorica Purlija's 'So, This is Goodbye' as a part of Head On Photo Festival Open Program.
"The project is a series of photographs made using my antique Argus 75 Medium format film camera during a field trip to the Central coast beaches, Maitland Bay and MacMasters Beach.
"The idea of this series is to photograph things and people in a happenstance way during my stroll of these beaches. I welcome the chance meetings and accidents which mark the film due to its age and condition.
"I prefer to use intuition as a guide to when I take photographs. I also like to experiment with using different colour film from the unusual stock found in camera shops, the film for these photographs is from a Russian film lab online.
"All these combinations come together and reveal a story of some sort when I have the film developed and can look through the prints.
"This story seems to be edging towards a goodbye of humankind and a return to nature."
– Zorica Purlija
Opening celebration: Saturday 30 November, 3-5pm
