Solo Exhibitions Confirmed

Solo exhibitions of photography by Rebecca Dagnall (WA) and Bronek Kozka (Vic) have been confirmed for the Turner Galleries in North Perth during FotoFreo 2012. These exhibitions will form part of the core programme of the Festival.

Rebecca says of her work, "For the past eight years my work has been an exploration of suburbia. Inspired by the lived experience of this all too familiar space, my work has been a series of explorations into nostalgia and the real, the beauty and the banal, suburban iconography and the ongoing investigation into peoples' relationships with their immediate surroundings."

Bronek Kozka explores the concept of memory in his work using the suburban landscape as a background to 're-enact events'. He says his, "photographs are on one level a representation of one person's perspective of a remembered moment in time, but they also ask the viewer to re-connect with their own memories and share the commonalities, and to use the image as a springboard into their own history."Solo exhibitions of photography by (WA) and (Vic) have been confirmed for the Turner Galleries in North Perth during FotoFreo 2012.
