Collective Visions
Photographic Imagery Collective
August 23 – October 19
Collective Visions is a group exhibition by Adelaide’s Photographic Imagery Collective (PIC). This collective comprises visual artists working across diverse areas of photographic practice, yet united by a shared passion for the medium and a strong belief in its relevance and future as a vital part of contemporary visual art.
Born from a desire to foster deeper discourse between art photography, the public, and the broader visual arts community, the collective’s aims are eloquently expressed in this exhibition. This show brings together a wide range of techniques, subjects, and conceptual approaches.
