Obsolete Redux explores the enduring resonance of analogue experiences within our rapidly digitalising contemporary society.
The exhibition juxtaposes the tactile warmth of analogue photography with the immediacy of digital photography and installation works, highlighting the ephemeral and intangible nature of modern life. Participating artists from Australia and Korea delve into themes of memory, intimacy, and authenticity through this contrast, reinterpreting analogue media not as mere relics of the past but as powerful mediums for connection and introspection today.
Each artwork reflects a universal human longing for the tactile, the imperfect, and the material, offering audiences a moment to pause and reflect within a fast-paced, screen-saturated era. Obsolete Redux reminds us that within what is often dismissed as 'obsolete,' there remains profound emotional depth, introspection, and the enduring touch of humanity.
Artists: Carolyn Craig, Damian Dillon, Han Heejoon, Hong Insook, Cecilia Kim, Julia Kim, Haejung Lee, Roy Lee, David Manley, Sangwook Moon
