For SALA Festival 2016, CACSA presents the work of Indigenous South Australian artist, James Tylor. In Territorial Encounters, Tylor reinterprets the British colonisation of South Australia through a series of photographs, objects and an immersive sound installation.
James Tylor’s practice uses early photographic techniques such as the daguerreotype, albumen and cyanotype processes to explore complex issues of racial identity and cultural representation in Australian society. Historically, wet plate photographic processes were originally used to document Indigenous Australians and Maori culture in the 19th century.
This publication is published by the Contemporary Art Centre of South Australia (CACSA ),
Adelaide to coincide with Territorial Encounters: James Tylor, an exhibition held at the CACSA
from 23 July – 28 August 2016.
