About the exhibition
In an Australian first, AGWA presents Sam Contis: Moving Landscape, an exhibition by internationally acclaimed US artist Sam Contis.
This stunning exhibition brings together three main bodies of work – Deep Springs, Overpass, and Cross Country – giving us a view of the artist’s practice over twelve years and 85 works.
We are introduced to Sam Contis’s practice, in this exhibition, through her deep understanding of photography’s histories, and her collaborative process. The three series unfold across distinct landscapes, each offering a careful view into the long and complicated relationship that photography holds with human attachments to place.
