Rosemary Laing: Transportation
Explore flight and travel through the lens of a photographer with an eye for dreamscapes.
Overview
Influential photographer Rosemary Laing has a long-held interest in place and landscape. Her photographs are like dreamscapes — familiar subjects or settings with a fantastical twist. You might remember her 2002 Flight Research series, featuring a bride with a bullet wound hanging like a puppet against blue skies.
In further exploring notions of flight and travel, Transportation at the Art Gallery of NSW will bring together two bodies of work: Greenwork (1995) and Brownwork (1996-7). The first series consists of lush wilderness scenes, which are digitally enhanced, and jet streams against the bright sky. The second series is all about in-between spaces and capturing the materials associated with flight, such as metal shipping containers and wooden crates in transit.
Between romantice and reality, the combination of these large-scale images will likely have you reflecting on the natural wonders of travel as well as the technological logistics.
