Tiffany - Ten thousand trials (Printed & Framed)

SKU: MONT-TiffanyTen-015F-Wh

This diptych is a poetic enquiry into the fragility and impermanence of the human psyche and the beauty of being. There is a clear delineation between the artist’s own imagery, poetry and found vintage ephemera. It creates a conversation exploring the perceived separation and duality of the seen and thought, the witness and the witnessing, and both esoteric and exoteric aesthetics.

 

The work can be viewed as a portal into the person photographed yet, on another level, it also represents the artist. It invites interaction from the viewer to write their own narrative through personal experienceboth trauma and triumph.

 

This portrait of Tiffany was made in Mount Lawley, Western Australia, as part of "Portraits from the Pavement", an ongoing series of photographic portraits made of strangers Brett Canét-Gibson meets on the street. All his images are made with natural light and a portable background.

 

The "Portraits from the Pavement" project began in 2015.Over the last 6 years, portraits from this series have been exhibited in the National Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, six times—with five images represented (winning Highly Commended and People’s Choice in the same year with two different images, the first photographer in the history of the prize to do so). The series has also seen Canét-Gibson selected as a finalist in the Head On International Photography Awards (winning People’s Choice); the Olive Cotton Prize for Portraiture, twice; the Percival Prize, with two images selected—one of which won First Prize); and the Kuala Lumpur International Portrait Awards, just to name a few. Images from the series have also featured on national and international magazine covers.
