Photographer Stephen Dupont launches new exhibition: Old works, new times

The only positive side to a pandemic is that it makes you slow down and feeds your mind a new kind of freedom.

During much of this lockdown and self-isolation period, I’ve immersed myself in my photography archive.

If you can imagine for a moment, it’s a little like taking a time-machine journey that rewinds through your memories.

Gazing over all the photographs I’ve taken, the exhibitions I’ve had and all the books I’ve made, humbles my feelings of some sort of achievement I suppose.

What has always excited me is the challenge of trying new things and I can’t think of a better time than now to open the vault and offer my hidden works for show and sale.

For someone who relies on travel here and abroad for work, for creativity, production and sales, it has been incredibly challenging.

Like many other artists, I have had my income crippled by this pandemic and, for the first time ever, I am offering some of my photographs for sale with 50% discount along with complimentary frames.

Also available will be a selection of my published books, signed and half price.

The works will be on show inside the magnificent Clifton School of Arts for one weekend only.

The exhibition will include many of my most significant photographs taken in Papua New Guinea, Cuba, India, Afghanistan, Australia and more.

I will personally be on site to discuss my work and answer questions.

My works are highly collectable here in Australia and around the world.

They are in the Collections of National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria, MONA, Stokes Collection, Jack Ginsberg, Aileen Getty, Peabody Museum, New York Public Library, Library of Congress, British Library, TATE, Boston Athenaeum, Wits Art Museum, Berlin Art Library, and Joy Of Giving Something, to name a few.
