Exclusively and for the first time in Lutruwita/Tasmania, QVMAG is proud to showcase the works of multi-award winning photomedia artist Murray Fredericks.
Witness brings together a selection of defining large-scale images drawn from Fredericks’ personal collection spanning his acclaimed Salt, Icesheet and Hector series showcasing the majestic and awe-inspiring environs of Lake Eyre, Greenland and the Tiwi Islands.
Fredericks describes his practice as one derived from a perspective that views culture as something that cannot be wholly accounted for through social construct. “In the end, what we see are not really places at all. We’re only looking at space. And whatever meaning these so-called places might have is inserted into them by the way the space is handled. Hopefully, the spaces in these images will open up to the viewers another space, a greater space, where they can insert their own meanings into the photographic moment.”
