Order & disorder Archives & Photography

So in a somewhat timely series of events, today I visited, along with the rest of the teaching faculty, a show at the NGV, entitled, Order & disorder Archives & Photography. The show itself is about the way the camera has been use by artists since the 1960's to create some semblance of order about the world around them.

From the exhibition catalogue/website, www.ngv.vic.gov.au/orderanddisorder/index.html

"Photography is naturally associated with archives because of its inherent ability to record, store and organise visual images.....

who explore the idea of archives as complex, living and occasionally mysterious systems of knowledge."

Did my little series achieve any of this? not sure but, this I guess was one of the driving ideas behind it when I began.
