14 November to 24 January 2009
Disappearers assembles a cast of eight national and international artists to explore the absent figure in contemporary photography. Haunting, disquieting and spectral, these photographs force us to confront vacant space and consider our relationship with the environment. They show us that while in one sense we ‘are not alone’, in a real sense we are very much alone. Featuring work by Peter Bialobrzeski (Germany), Simryn Gill, Annie Hogan, Mark Kimber, Richard Lipp, Kenneth Pleban, Izabela Pluta and Juha Tolonen.
