MIRROR: New views on photography

Great photography can hold up a mirror to the world and reflect our innermost thoughts and feelings.

MIRROR: New views on photography showcased over 140 photographs from the State Collection, alongside creative responses from emerging and established Victorian storytellers to tell fascinating tales of Victoria through a contemporary lens. 

Displayed in stunning immersive detail, the photos of Rennie Ellis, Viva Gibb, Helmut Newton and more combined with the words, performance and sounds of Alice Skye, Christos Tsiolkas, Jason Tamiru, Walter Kadiki and other storytellers to produce new narratives of Victorian people and places.

The exhibition was held in the Keith Murdoch Gallery from 19 May 2023 to 28 January 2024.
