Christopher
Köller's exhibition, TRUST consists of 16 large
- scale photographic portraits of people who are significant
contributors to Melbourne's rich contemporary culture.
Köller's
works exhale fresh vigour and energy back into the photographic
portrait, moving beyond the traditional well-lit description
of the sitter's features. He selects subjects who are
either well-known figures in the Melbourne culture circuit
or emerging practioners from divergent backgrounds including
the visual arts, craft, film, dance and music.
His
subjects collude and collaborate with him in the presentation
of their image, with a streamlined aesthetic emerging,
whose influences span from Andy Warhol's Interview magazine
to Japanese pop-photography of the early 1970s.
