Inspired by John Brack’s Collins St, 5pm painting of Melbourne’s peak-hour, the Crowd series unfolds as an extended reflection on how individuals inhabit collective space – both physical and digital – and how behaviour shifts within conditions of anonymity.
These works originate from single photographic frames, captured within moments of gathering: streets, sport events, sites of movement. Each image is enlarged beyond its intended resolution, pushed to the edge of its technical capacity until detail collapses. Faces disappear. Bodies fragment. What once functioned as documentation enters the abstract territory. Through this process of visual erosion, the photograph is no longer a record of who was present, but a field of relations – densities, gaps, gestures, proximities.
Enjoy viewing.
