Truth-In
Focus: A Sub-Lation Retrospective is a conceptual exhibition envisioned for the
State Library of Victoria, honouring the influential works of Australian
analogue photographer Jamie Wdziekonski, widely recognized by his artistic
pseudonym, Sub-Lation. Renowned for his profound contributions to the
documentation of music and protest culture, Wdziekonski's photography captures
raw, unfiltered moments that convey a deep sense of authenticity. This is
reflected through the graphical style and typography achieved using analogue
mediums. The exhibition centres on the theme of "truth," exploring
how his candid, spontaneous style encapsulates genuine emotion and reality
through the lens. The retrospective's title, "Truth-In Focus,"
perfectly encapsulates the essence of Wdziekonski's body of work, offering a
reflective exploration of truth as seen through his camera.
