Art exhibition Kurt Sorensen | A Strange Occurrence
-
Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday 10am – 4pm
On the morning of 10 October 1880, an abandoned skiff of five sailors who had been surveying the Eurobodalla coast was found at what is now known as 'Mystery Bay', about halfway between Narooma and Bermagui. No sign of the men has ever been found.
A Strange Occurrence is an exhibition of hand printed colour photographic prints, exploring these events through a gothic European idea of the antipodean consciousness.
The 'strange occurrence', as contemporary newspapers called it, occurred in a wilderness pulsating with ancient unseen forces, obscured by clinging mist or undulating shadows.
Using the 'Bermagui Mystery' as a catalyst, the photographs seek to reflect on the unease that permeated through interactions Europeans experienced with the Australian landscape.
