Pieces of Eight marks the first time a creative team of staff members
from the Australian Centre for Photography have exhibited together in
over ten years. Diverse in their ideas, processes and experience – while united by a common fervour for photography – each of the exhibiting
photographers bring a fresh, individual approach to the medium. “It’s exciting to have the opportunity to exhibit together after working
so closely day to day” says Bec Dean, “we’re all at different stages in
our career and it’s nice to be able to create an exhibition that is
interesting and relevant artistically, while also being supportive to
each individual’s practice”.
