Memory, Myth and the 1/4 Acre Block: Bronek Kozka

Official Opening: Thursday 19 January
Dates: 18 January to 4 March 2012

The suburban landscape, be it outdoors or interior, is the staging ground for Kozka's re-enactments. Through elaborate tableaux photographs, the artist explores memory and remembered moments of growing up in suburbia, playing on the ambiguity of fact and fiction and the human ability to recall a scene or happening. Kozka's photographs are partly truth and partly myth, and explore how memory can confuse and at the same time assure one's construct of a story.
