Finalist, Macquarie Digital Portraiture Award 2013
Single channel HD video
Leaving Lost uses a combination of digital and Super 8 film to explore the story of Canberra artist Derek O’Connor and his relationship with the suburb Fyshwick where his studio is located. It serves as both a portrait of an individual and of a place through its investigation of the complex relationships people have with their environments.
The Macquarie Digital Portraiture Award is an annual event intended to extend traditional notions of portraiture and reflects the National Portrait Gallery's commitment to fostering emerging artists with an interest in contemporary technology.
Explore portraiture and come face to face with Australian identity, history, culture, creativity and diversity.
