Coming up at BAMM are contemporary photographic exhibitions, ‘Skatepark: Trace and Culture’ by Dan Johnston, and ‘The Desert Line’ and ‘Temporality’ by Enrico Scotece.
‘Skateparks: Trace and Culture’ by Dan Johnston draws on a photographic study of 136 skateparks across Australia and overseas, documenting the visual traces left by the communities who use them. Through these traces, Johnston reveals a shared global language of creativity, identity and defiance, reframing skateparks as vital cultural spaces that foster connection, belonging and wellbeing.
Working with analogue photography and experimental processes, in ‘The Desert Line’ and ‘Temporality’, Enrico Scotece explores landscape, time and perception across the regional and remote territories of inland Australia. Through large-format and handmade pinhole cameras, his photographs trace encounters with place and the passage of time, revealing landscapes that are at once observed, experienced and unknowable.
Exhibition: 15 October–5 November
