Anne Zahalka’s work centres around deconstructing familiar scenes and re-presenting them to allow for alternative narratives that reflect.
This exhibition brings together key bodies of work from Zahalka’s extensive photo-media practice, spanning four decades, presented alongside collected treasures from her archive that inform and inspire her. These archival components have been incorporated into a re-creation of her house-studio within the gallery space. Imaginative, immersive, and playful, the exhibition invites audiences into the artist’s working life and her creative process to explore the illusionary worlds for which she is renowned.
