Overview
Banaras Backs, the newest exhibition at Darlinghurst photography Black Eye Gallery, offers a unique glimpse into contemporary Indian life.
The work of Aussie photographer Terry Burrows, this new show features photos of people sitting on the steps of the river Ganges. A riff on classic portraiture, each of the photos is taken from behind, with the viewer unable to see any of the subjects' faces. At once intimate and distant, this intriguing series invites you to spend long moments in front of each image, admiring the composition or, for more creative types, inventing stories about the photos' anonymous subjects.
Copies of Burrows' publication, The Banaras Back Book — a whopping collection of 1008 photos from which the Black Eye Gallery exhibit is curated — will be available for sale during the exhibition.
Black Eye Gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am–6pm.
