PATRICK POUND
Infinite camera
9 March – 1 April 2023

STATION | MELBOURNE

Comprising found photographs grouped thematically and subjectively, Infinite camera re-stages key works from Patrick Pound’s major exhibitions Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, and Patrick Pound: On Reflection at City Gallery Wellington.

Pound challenges traditional notions of singular authorship by creating works from the amasses of found materials in his personal archives, which have been collected over years of obsessive and meticulous searching. His collections of found photographs and everyday objects (which the artist refers to as ‘things’) are indexed in groups according to specific characteristics, each containing their own highly subjective logic. As if the world is a puzzle to be solved, Pound forms complex arrangements and installations of images and objects from his archive, placing disparate images and objects into relation in order to create new relationships.
