Found

Newstead Pocket Gallery

Found is an exhibition that invites its audience to imagine the stories that lie behind the images of unknown families and obscure events, Australia in the 1950s, private school regattas, sunny days in unknown places, a horse that won a few races, and discarded press releases found at op shops, garage sales, roadsides, rubbish bins and hidden in second hand books.
The new owners of these photographs often know little to nothing about them but what they are able to glean from details, or wildly imagine.
This exhibition also acts as a lost property area, in that viewers may bring their own knowledge to identify people, events, or places in these found photos.
