Let Me Imagine You
About the exhibition
An exhibition by Canberra-based emerging photographer Andrew Tenison. Rummaging through a second-hand shop, Tenison found a discarded photographic negative. This exhibition is a series of photographs created in response to that object. This project considers the role photography plays in memory and myth making, and how photographs can spark questions about the past and be used to interpret history.
