James Tylor: Turrangka...in the shadows

Art Gallery of South Australia

Turrangka…in the shadows surveys over a decade of James Tylor's practice and brings together the most comprehensive selection of his unique daguerreotypes, expansive digital photographic series, hand-made Kaurna cultural objects and furniture. The exhibition title is drawn from a Kaurna word, highlighting a significant ongoing aspect of Tylor's practice: the learning and sharing of his Indigenous language. As well as shadow, turra also translates to reflection, image and mirror. At the core of Tylor's practice is a continuously innovative program of photographic intervention, disrupting the image to redact or highlight visual information. He systematically alters the reading of Country by excising information from the photographic print or inscribing language and place-names onto the surface of his daguerreotypes. These photographs provide a glimpse into Tylor's broader practice of recreating Kaurna cultural artefacts, architecture and ephemera. Antiquated analogue photographic processes including Becquerel daguerreotypes and hand-tinting are also used to generate a new archive of pseudo-historical images. Tylor's recreations point to the absence of these images from the hegemonic depiction of colonial Australia's visual history. A UNSW Galleries, Sydney exhibition, presented in partnership with Art Gallery of South Australia. Presented during SALA Festival.
