Hugo Michell Gallery Opening: Justine Varga | Maningrida exhibitions

Justine Varga
Diffusion
Justine Varga creates photographic works from an intimate exchange between a strip of film and the world that comes to be inscribed on it. Employing analogue techniques, sometimes using a camera and sometimes not, her exposures capture instantaneous moments or distill lengthy durational periods. Her working process complicates both the act of looking and the experience of time. The photographs that result are therefore documents of transformation and remembering, being simultaneously situational and autobiographical.

Warraburnburn
The Warraburnburn figures are representational carvings of ‘ghost spirits’ that hold an essential role in indicating cycles of death, life, transitions and rebirth, being closely associated with the waterhole An-mujolkuwa in the artists’ ancestral territory, as other Wangarra are related to other sites for other clans. This exhibition brings together sculptural Warraburnburn by Jeremiah Bonson, Serena Bonson, and Chubasco Pascoe from Maningrida, Arnhem Land.

Hugo Michell Gallery acknowledges the Kaurna people as the traditional custodians of the Adelaide region, and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.
