HIJACKED PHOTOGRAPHERS IN TV DOCUMENTARY

Exciting news! A documentary film based on the Hijacked Photobook is in the works! Producer Jack Pam has been flying around the world interviewing everyone from the book and taking a look into the way in which they approach their work. When Jack came to interview me, I happened to be shooting Francois Sagat for a segment of my sci-fi show,"The Multinauts" ( In the segment Francois will be advertising a futuristic perfume....and that's all I'm gonna say about that for now) Don't know when the documentary will air, but I sure am looking forward to it.

Hijacked Volume One

HIJACKED @ The Australian Centre for Photography
Curated by Mark McPherson
Gallery 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
(GALLERY 3 CLOSES 6 JULY)
13 June to 19 July | Opening Thursday June 12, 2008


Providing a voice for some of the most exciting and provocative new photography from Australia and America, Hijacked takes a road less travelled. The exhibition erases traditional boundaries between art, document and snapshot to point towards the future of contemporary photomedia.

Shunning repetitive and predictable curatorial structures, Hijacked’s aesthetic is driven by the mindset and energy of young and emerging practitioners. Embracing the prevailing wanderlust of their generation, their work exhibits a fascination with international subcultures, fragmented trends, alternate life styles and urban landscapes. The exploration of suburban pleasures is placed on par with ‘high’ artistic experimentation.


I'm proud to be included in the Hijacked exhibition and publication, which features the work of some of my favorite contemporary photographers. Check them all out below and celebrate the new future of photography.
