We're pleased to announce our participation in miart, Italy's international modern and contemporary art fair, where we will present a solo exhibition by Narrm/Melbourne-based artist Zoë Croggon. Croggon works primarily in collage and photomontage, her works contemplate the role we play in our environment and how deeply our surroundings inform the cadence of our lives.

Zoë Croggon’s half life examines the everyday choreography of the body as defined by work. Created using security footage of the artist at her day job, this series of photomontages considers how repetitive daily work dictates and deteriorates the body. half life observes work as a way of mapping the body, sometimes showing the artist completing tasks at work, unaware of the camera, sometimes watching her performing for the camera, quietly severing the body’s compliance with work.
Using stills taken from the sixteen security cameras at the artist’s workplace across a three month period, this work questions the unblinking eye of the camera and its unrelenting observation.
What do we do with the perpetual generation of images that are not meant to be seen?
half life considers how the advent of photography has accelerated the age of surveillance, inverting its tireless gaze by mining its own archive.
