Presented in collaboration with the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and RMIT University.

American artist Penelope Umbrico discusses her installations, video, and digital media works with Professor Daniel Palmer from RMIT University.

Utilising photo-sharing and the internet as the ultimate archive, Umbrico’s work explores the dynamic production and consumption of online images, questioning the “democratisation” of photo-media, where standardised imaging technologies undermine claims to authorship, subjectivity and individuality.

For this year’s 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing, Umbrico will present new works at the 2019 Ballarat International Foto Biennale in the group exhibition To The Moon and Back. The works are a contextualised response to our collective imaging of the moon.
