Christian Thompson REMIX: a decade of photography
Known for his intense photographs and performance pieces, Christian Thompson is an artist whose work strikes at the very core of Australian identity. Addressing both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, his work is unique in its ability to transcend cultural boundaries and evoke the universal human experience. This highly conceptual exhibition includes a selection of large-format photographs of Thompson’s most striking works that challenge our preconceptions of identity, cultural hybridity and history.
