Additional Info
A View of the Pool explores the rich and emotional territory of being at home and how we inhabit intimate spaces. These ideas resonate through my photographic practice, which examines notions of identity, belonging, and place. Through the use of self-portraiture and performance, this photograph searches for a repository of memory and history - both real and imagined - and of how we create spaces to embody and reflect ourselves, even once gone.
PIA JOHNSON
Mooramong Green series 2020
Pia Johnson is known for her distinctive portraiture and performance photography, and in this new series she employs self-portraiture to examine transcultural identity, place, memory and belonging. Pia’s line of inquiry centres on the histories of representation of the Eurasian female body in domestic settings, and Mooramong Green forms part of the artist’s ongoing considerations of post-colonial and feminist narratives in contemporary Australia as a woman of Chinese and Italian-Australian descent.
