The exhibition is based on studies into cognitive and visual perception and delusion, and the brain\u2019s response to such stimuli. The result is an immersive work that challenges the brain to either switch between realities or to merge them into a sensible delusion, provoking viewers to contemplate humankind\u2019s capacity to believe when there is no truth, just characteristics of a logical consistency.\nAbout Artist\nChristopher Sheils works as a psychiatric nurse and has developed an interest in visual and cognitive perception.

She stated “our need to have reality confirmed and experience enhanced by photographs…is an aesthetic consumerism to which everyone is now addicted”.\u00a0But how does photography equally confirm and enhance reality? Fashion photography embraces our imagination and sits as the looking glass through which we wander into daydreams, playing with ideas of human desire, pushing societal boundaries and experimenting with identity, medium and form. Curated by Michelle Mountain, Reverie Revelry looks at photography as a dream that represents a coinciding truth and fallacy, through the lens of fashion.

Responding to the stories of institutional abuse, suicide and shattered lives across the Ballarat community, artist Aldona Kmiec has created a moving and respectful collection that reflects the process of healing that comes after suffering and distress, that ensures that life can begin once more.\n“My vision is to document the invisible lives, drowned by society’s attempts to maintain normalcy through keeping their eyes shut, pretending that lives don’t exist, referring to them as numbers. As a minority, I too share the mark of the unknown. In my artistic journey I show that coming from a place that is foreign to many, doesn’t mean one cannot achieve.”\nAbout Artist\nBorn and raised in Poland, Aldona Kmiec migrated to the UK in 2004 and to Australia in 2009. She lives and works between Ballarat and East Gippsland. In 2012-14 she was one of the Multicultural Ambassadors of Ballarat and worked on number of artistic projects including photographic street murals We R You.

Changes during the British colonial period gradually led to the introduction of wages for domestic service, but even after twice-achieved national independence in 1947 and 1971, no minimum wage, maximum working hours or holidays have been legislated by the government for those in domestic service. There is no public discourse around this\u00a0issue.\nThrough her work, Close Distance, Jannatul Mawa (Nepal) wants to break the ‘spatial\u2019 taboo that signifies an underlying class taboo in\u00a0urban middle class homes. Although the mistress and the housemaid inhabit the same domestic space, their social and economic privileges, and their ideological worth are poles apart. \n“Through my work I want to explore the possibility of creating bonds of intimacy among women who, according to dominant norms, are unequal, norms which\u00a0we ourselves internalise. Even though the duration of this closeness is small, and the occasion of a photographer intruding will not do away with deeply embedded class distinction, I am a believer in the reformist power of\u00a0the photographic image.\u00a0I like to think that my work will help us reflect upon domestic relationships, which are not natural but social and historical, and realise the need for change”.\n","phone":"","categoriesInEvent":"outdoor-public-program, free-event","categoriesInEventPretty":"(OUTDOOR) PUBLIC PROGRAM, Free Event","address":"Camp St & Field St , Ballarat Central, 3350"}]},{"id":982,"zone":"arts-precinct","mapData":[{"address":"10 Lydiard Street South, Ballarat","lat":"-37.5627689","lng":"143.85734560000003"}],"slug":"craigs-royal-hotel","name":"Craigs Royal Hotel","address":"10 Lydiard Street South , Ballarat, 3350","url":"","desc":"Exhibition space is in the Dining Room","events":[{"zone_number":"18","thumbnail":"https:\/\/2017.ballaratfoto.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-15-at-1.51.12-PM-382x288.png","artist":"by David Rosendale, Neil Prieto","slug":"david-rosendale-neil-prieto","name":"ROADS","venueName":"Craigs Royal Hotel","description":"With an aligned journey spanning 20 years, contemporaries David Rosendale and Neil Prieto present a combined curation of 2016 exhibitions The Fall and Contra Mano.
