Asialink Arts and the Bendigo Art Gallery present Shadowlife, an exhibition of works by nine internationally renowned contemporary Australian Aboriginal artists (and one non-Indigenous collaborator) engaged in photo-based practices.
Wungguli, an Arnhem Land Djambarrpuyngu word, means spirit and shadow and came to describe photographic image. Dreaming tells us that the shadow is your soul. Shadowlife embraces moving image and photography with all its directness, theatricality and immediacy by confronting stereotypes and acting out scenarios.
Curators: Djon Mundine OAM and Natalie King
Artists: Vernon Ah Kee, Bindi Cole, Brenda L. Croft, Destiny Deacon & Virginia Fraser, Fiona Foley, Gary Lee, Michael Riley, Ivan Sen and Christian Thompson
