- Past Exhibition
Taken throughout the 1990s, Paul Blackmore’s photographs document outdoor life in a range of Sydney suburbs. Much of suburban life is defined by the experience of having neighbours — living in close proximity with others, together yet apart. Blackmore’s photographs explore contrasting expressions of neighbourliness — driveway cricket matches in a Balmain gated community, the friendly openness of working on your car in the front yard, a community bonding over the protest against a proposed local airport.
