The Manifest - Lisa Tomasetti Solo Exhibition

When

Exhibition opening Saturday 12 October 3pm with special guest Heather Mitchell

The definition of the word 'manifest' describes what a thing ( about, a person, a vessel ) may hold.

The Manifest reflects on gender identity and the role contemporary digital photographic portraiture plays in the representation of the ‘female’ image. Does it capture or construct sexual identity?

In this series Lisa Tomasetti responds to historic, costumed representations of ‘authentic ‘ gender by first establishing the constancy and indifference of clouds. The ephemeral nature of clouds first defied scientific classification. Artists saw clouds as anti structure, anti order, representative instead of the complexity of human mood or aspiration , as transports of gods and angels.
