Overview

Fans of street photography from the 50's, 60's and 70's will enjoy this exhibition at Olsen Annexe by Juli Balla, who was heavily influenced by films of the same era.

Creating a colour palate that recalls feature films shot in technicolour, playing with saturation and fades, Balla's shots, resembling film stills, provoke curiosity and questioning in the viewer. Who are these characters and where are they going? "It intrigues me why people are so fascinated by documentary photography from another period of time," says Balla. "The images immediately take on a sense of mystery. As in a film still, the images evoke a feeling of suspended animation, while one tries to decipher what has just happened or about to happen."

Lovers of vintage fashion will also appreciate the meticulously authentic period wardrobe provided by stylist Janai Anselmi. While you're at Olsen make sure to check out Tim Georgeson's eerily beautiful print series, Oracles.
