Exhibition: Ben Healley at Gold Street Studios

Benjamin Healley ‘Scapes’ Exhibition

Dates: 4th October to 26th November 2023

Location: Gold Street Studios, Victoria, Australia

In this exhibition, Benjamin Healley takes you on a monochromatic odyssey that celebrates anthropogenic and natural environments alike. ‘Scapes’ is an invitation to pause, appreciate beauty in the ordinary, and ponder our own place in the frame of existence. 

Benjamin’s compositions deliberately omit individual figures, creating almost ethereal scenes of seemingly abandoned worlds, but humanity’s fingerprints are intrinsically embedded throughout. The absence of colour, too, strips back each image to its essentials to create a bold vision embodied solely by light and shadow. Each frame is a demonstration of Benjamin’s painstaking craftsmanship, expert eye, and dedication to analog film—all in service of the soul of photography.

Gold Street Studios is a resource centre for photographic image makers and attracts both local and international participants seeking to advance their knowledge and skills in the art, craft and science of traditional handmade and early photographic print processes.
