How often: Once Only
Looking at Looking: The Photographic Gaze, is a unique exhibition exploring how photography can construct particular ways of looking.
Drawn entirely from the NGV Collection, this exhibition brings together a fascinating selection of photographs inviting the viewer to consider the diverse nature of the photographic gaze and explore the complex relationships between the subject, the photographer and the audience.
Looking at Looking features works by 10 Australian and international photographers including 20 photographs from Bill Henson's Untitled 1980-82 series.
Maggie Finch, Assistant Curator, Photography, NGV said: "The act of photographing people involves a process of observation and scrutiny. At times, photographers remain detached and anonymous while at other times they are complicit, directing their subjects and encouraging specific actions."
Looking at Looking: The Photographic Gaze is on display at NGV International, St Kilda Road until 4 March 2012.
