Eight local and international photographers, including WA’s Susan Hill, Christophe Canato and Christopher Young, have collaborated for Quiet Moments, a collection of shots showing items and settings from everyday life in unexpected ways.

“These images offer a space for the viewer to reflect upon the aftermath of an incident that occurred outside of the frame.
“In essence, they are a mystery for the viewer to unravel.”
On the other end of the scale, photographer John Gollings has put together a collection of his work covering the chaos and turmoil caused by Black Saturday in Aftermath.
Best known as an architectural photographer, Gollings’ collection captures from the air the devastation that followed the Victorian bushfires.
Fremantle Arts Centre curator Ric Spencer said it was a rare opportunity to see a unique perspective of the Australian landscape following such a catastrophic event.
Quiet Moments and Aftermath are at the Fremantle Arts Centre until July 26.
