This exhibit was shot by Dara Kretschmer in 2008 and is out of the archive so to speak.
Please join the artist at the opening event Thursday 17 Oct. 2013, 6-8pm.
Photographic portraiture has a particular significance in the modern Greek experience, photographic portraits were often the sole reminder of those far away. They became a central totem of family connection; a deep expression of kinship; a repository of family memory, at once both artifact and object.
The Fragments exhibition continues the tradition of photographic portraiture within the Greek community by recording the Greeks of the diaspora in the inner bayside suburbs of the City of Port Phillip.
