Towards a Theory of Everything

Lyndell Brown & Charles Green with Patrick Pound

Published: Australian Centre for Photography, 1999

There is little in the Western world left unphotographed. Any history of the last twenty years is necessarily a photographic history. A theory of everything would be a theory in imagery.

Featuring four massive but delicately articulated photo-based collages this exhibition is the result of more than twelve month's collective exploration and experimentation. Through a fertile collaboration the Australian artistic team of Lyndell Brown and Charles Green and Melbourne- based New Zealander Patrick Pound have built on their shared fascination for the way in which 'history' is reclaimed and revised through the often haphazard processes of acquisition and archive.

With its focus on photographic constructions (and wilful distortions) of history, this exhibition complements the masquerade of the gallery Two exhibition , while in a further variation on a theme, Martin Parr's project in the Foyer wields collage in a mordant conflation of history and geography as the vassal of a Mass Mediated now.
