Reflections of South Perth by Scott Henman
On display from April to July 2024
Reflections of South Perth is a site-based series of photographic images using a technique which creates symmetrical mirrored images ‘in camera’. These images of South Perth are captured in the moment and use no post- production editing. Between February and March Henman took over 6000 photographs for the Manning Box Gallery commission.
When taken with the mirrored effect, images take on a life of their own and become different entities making magic from the mundane, creating new architecture, impossible landscapes and comical animals and faces from familiar surrounds. Roofs and facades become floating buildings in the sky, trees become abstract life forms and animals transform into alien-esque entities.
Many of the images create pareidolia (seeing faces, objects or meaning in random objects or patterns of light and shadow). Watching clouds or using the Rorschach inkblot test is an example of pareidolia.
