VIEW2025 brings together the work of Cailyn Forrest, Adam Hsieh, Fiona Lee, Aia Solis, and Emma Lyn Winkler. This annual exhibition spotlights regional emerging artists—the future leaders of Australian photo media practice—and is accompanied by a publication offering insights into current photographic trends across analogue, digital, and experimental forms.
In Darkroom Viscera, Cailyn Forrest transforms the act of photography into a bodily ritual, intertwining artist and material. Adam Hsieh’s I Didn’t Come Here for Love juxtaposes wide-angle views of Hobart’s kunanyi/Mount Wellington with intimate Grindr encounters, exploring how social currents shape our experience of place.
Fiona Lee’s Future Critical confronts ecological loss and political inertia, informed by her displacement during the 2019–2020 bushfires. In Tarantana Muna, Aia Solis merges past memories and present realities, revealing a delicate balance between control and disorder. Emma Lyn Winkler’s Shadow Puppets fuses painting, photography, and animation into textured narratives infused with humour and existential absurdity.
