- A photographic exploration

By Ian Macrae macway

Staff_pick_sticker

An exhibition held at Forty Five Downstairs, Melbourne
5th - 16th February 2008

Each time I visit Italy I’m drawn to its visual contradictions. I find a country constantly battling ancient versus modern and a people who find paradoxical yet practical solutions to every day problems. In my visits over the past 7 years I’ve tried to capture images which explain this dichotomy. I hope this exhibition of photographs taken during these travels will relay to you the unusual, sometimes abstract and surreal aspects which fascinate me about this intriguing country.
