Opening next Friday, July 25th 6-8pm.
Gallery Red presents The Room a solo photographic exhibition by Rachael Ireland that visually manipulates the threshold between house and country, exploring the tensions inherent in trying to define home. Tourism and travel is used to reflect the spaces between house, home and country. Traditional black and white processes as well as double exposure and slide projections are used to create layered imagery that both references and disrupts the practice of travel photography; which seeks to capture and contain the unfamiliar in an attempt to make it familiar.
