The Anticipated Image is the culmination of 2 years of postgraduate research as a Master of Fine Arts candidate at Art & Design UNSW, Sydney. It examines media witnessing through 24-hour television news and photojournalism with a focus on the coverage of current events.

The news media afford a vantage point to remotely observe crisis and catastrophe that is at once privileged and passive, distant and affective. This ambivalent mode of witnessing raises manifold social, ethical and political questions, and points to the complicity of the news in the affective politics of fear and anxiety that have permeated everyday life since 9/11.

This exhibition explores the affective potential of timing and resolution, in video installation and digital print, using the tactic of post-production to recombine and abstract found images and footage sourced from the media.

Opening Tuesday 26th April, 5–7pm.
