LYNDELL BROWN CHARLES GREEN
LYNDELL BROWN/CHARLES GREEN are currently exhibiting at the NGV in Looking at Looking: The Photographic Gaze, 30 Sep 2011 - 4 Mar 2012.
Don't miss the opportunity to hear Lyndell and Charles speak about their work, 2pm Saturday, 3rd December at the exhibition space, Level 3, NGV.
The act of photographing people involves a process of observation, scrutiny and looking. At times photographers remain detached and anonymous. Other times they are complicit, directing their subjects and encouraging specific actions and poses. Sometimes the gaze is returned, and sometimes it is denied. The power of the gaze can create complex relationships between the subject, the photographer and the audience.
