Liesl Pfeffer: Souvenir
NO NO GALLERY
Thursday 11 November 2010 to Saturday 27 November 2010
Opening Thursday 11 November 2010 6-8pm
In Souvenir, Liesl Pfeffer uses the tropes of travel photography to explore the concept of photographic truth. Souvenir consists of photo-media collages depicting imaginary foreign landscapes, including mountain ranges, fjords and lakes, inspired by and referencing the composition of vernacular travel photographs.
What at first glance appears to be a mountain is actually made up of pieces of snapshots of the everyday; anything from fences to clouds. There is something false and visually jarring in these images; the artists uses this disjunct to explore the idea of truth in photography.
