ELLEN DAHL ‘Fieldwork’ at Grace Cossington Smith Gallery

October 5, 2024

Ellen Dahl will be exhibiting her 2 channel video ‘Field Notes from the Edge / The Fake Lake’ as part of the group show ‘Fieldwork’ at Grace Cossington Smith Gallery from 06.10. – 28.10.23. The exhibition seeks to foster ecological thinking and draws attention to the dynamic vitality, rhythms, interactions, and language of multi-species environments through photographic media. The diverse range of artists critically engage with ecology, materiality and temporality to present a generative diagram of the ecosystem, spanning latent cosmological energies and ice floes, through to the biochemical entanglement of living organisms.

Ellen is a visual artist and researcher originally from the arctic north of Norway. Working across photography, video, sound and installation, her practice explores the expanded field of the photographic medium and its potential to engage new critical, poetic and aesthetic conditions for assembling ecological meaning and geological imagination.
