Snapshot - Darlinghurst eats its young
"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there"
– LP Hartley, The Go-Between
Big hair, big pants, and long gone buildings.
Recently a friend put up a lot of scanned photos on Facebook. They were all of Sydney in the 80s. The hair, the clothes, the look of the past; they got a lot of attention from people, some just liked the aged look of old photos, the look you cant get with digital pics.
Why do people load old fashioned ring tones for their iPhone?
What is it that makes people nostalgic for an era they didn’t know?
What makes the look and sounds of 'analogue' so appealing?
The snapshots on show at SEDITION show an pre digital version of an almost disappeared city. A Sydney of cheap housing; a Sydney yet to be gentrified.
Come and check out the installation in SEDITION's window - a scrolling view of images courtesy of Maggie Woods, David Art Wales, Miranda Douglas and you…?
