Contagion

Contagion, a series of portraits and collages, aims to represent our current online/offline existence. In some images, commuters appear to be trapped between the physical and digital worlds, while in others they appear to be fading away into the ‘digital ether’. Ultimately, Contagion explores how technology influences our habits and our consciousness.

Contagion was originally exhibited at Trocadero Art Space, Footscray, in 2018. A limited edition book was also published for the occasion. The book contains 63 images and an essay entitled ‘The Fantasy of Escape: Viewing Machines from the Kaiserpanorama to Instagram’.
