Becoming

Take a wander down Brunswick Street in Fortitude Valley to find Becoming, a new work by Brisbane artist, Jacinta Giles. 

With this work the artist invites viewers to experience the space between personal memory and shared understanding through combining photography and architecture.

Within this project photographs, which have been created through experimental processes that take their cues from how memory operate, are materialised on the facade of the Judith Wright Centre building, which is both a container and object of memory, becoming the vehicle for exposing the visual structure of remembrances.

Good to know - Jacinta Giles is an emerging visual artist who uses the materiality and conceptual framework of photography to explore the impermanent, mutable and fragmentary nature of memory. Through using unconventional photographic processes that take their cues from how memory operates, Giles creates images that speak to the affective and shared visual nature of remembrances. The artist has exhibited in galleries across Australia and in London and graduated with a Master of Visual Art from the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, in 2016.

Need to know - Brisbane City Council’s Temporary Art Program is a contemporary public art program that transforms public outdoor spaces across the city through temporary, creative activations.
