Analogue Images: Recent Work by Rory Gardiner and Maxime Delvaux

Analogue Images presents for the first time photographs from Rory Gardiner and Maxime Delvaux side-by-side. Far from innocent, these adjacencies disclose certain nuances in the nature of collaborations and the forms of authorship they produce, the contexts and processes they present, and how they capture everyday life. Each coupling explores the reciprocal relationship between photography and architecture to establish a dialogue on how contemporary images build space.

Making Analogue Images Workshop

Saturday 22 April, 2 pm — 5pm

Venue: Tin Sheds Gallery

Making Analogue Images is a free half-day workshop for parents and children, ages 8+. This workshop aims to help young attendees understand how the process of photography works by returning to the medium's analogue origins to make a pin-hole camera. After the workshop, parents and children are encouraged to complete a photographic treasure hunt in the vicinity, using their pin-hole cameras and architectural landmarks on the University of Sydney campus to guide them.

Children should be accompanied by a parent and/or caregiver. All materials provided. Registration essential.

Reading Room

Reading Room I and II takes the time to discuss the books that have remained laid out in the exhibition space over the past few months—books on photography, books of photography, books of architecture elaborated through image and text. Each session will discuss a few books side-by-side, led first by those who selected them and then opened up to a group discussion. Select printouts will be made available online and in-person for the duration of the exhibition. Around the table, we will form a bookclub, reading into the relationships between text, image, architecture.
