If You Leave Me, can I Come Too?
Melancholy and dissociation in australian photomedia practice

Turning-in to a zeitgeist that is up-on-the-downside if you leave me, can I come too? brings together contemporary Australian artists that convey a sense of humour-tinted melancholy through their work. Taking its title from the deadpan irony of a Mental as Anything break-up song, this exhibition considers broad social themes from personal failure to environmental disconnection, across a range of photomedia.
