Upcoming Exhibition: Dare To Bare

In just a little over 4 weeks, the Photographers In Perth will open their second public exhibition at the KURB Gallery in Northbridge. Running from July 15 to July 27, Dare To Bare showcases almost 40 works by over a dozen photographers, many of whom are exhibiting for the very first time.

In Dare to Bare, Photographers in Perth members are challenged to photograph the nude (whether self-portraiture or a model) in ways that present the nude as more than just a passive object or a bared body. Through interplay of pose, lighting, framing, props and even motion blur, these photographers use the nude figure to draw our emotions or raise questions about their subjects. The title itself is symbolic of this theme: in these images, the photographers have dared to bare more than just the exposed skin of their subjects; the images reveal the complex web of emotions inherent in the human condition and challenge us to confront them.

More than just nakedness, this exhibition exposes images that are at once profound, emotional, beautiful, funny and oddball.
