Changeling - childhood and the uncanny. An Australian Centre for Photography exhibition

Thursday 4 May - Sunday 18 June 2006

Participating Artists: Glenn Sloggett, William Ropp, Deborah Paauwe, Julie Sundberg, Michelle Sank, Toni Wilkinson, Simen Johan, Polixeni Papapetrou, Loretta Lux, Donna Bailey and Angela Blakley.

Images of childhood beguile but they can also disturb, especially when they imply the adult yet to come. And adolescence, the period of metamorphosis, can be a strange and troubling time. This exhibition considers the charm and the anxiety that cohabit in photographs of children and images that explore the transition to adulthood. Through the bittersweet of an uncanny beauty, Changeling raises challenging questions about our current attitudes to images of children in an adult world.
