Long Distance Vision: Three Australian Photographers will consider the work of well known Australian photographers Max Pam, Christine Godden and Matthew Sleeth, who have
photographed not only aspects of the everyday at home but venture forth with the delighted, but not uncritical, eyes of the traveller.
Since the nineteenth century photography has been a means by which people could discover the world. Photographs of exotic places and ‘others’ have been a compelling subject and for Australian contemporary photographers, the exotic is as close to home as Asia or as far away as Europe.
