National Photography Prize 2022 Interview - Luke Parker

Artist Luke Parker discusses his work Atelier/atelier showing as part of the 2022 National Photography Prize at the Murray Art Museum Albury.

The National Photography Prize brought together twelve artists from across Australia who challenged and extended photographic language and techniques.

Atelier/atelier is a set of vetical panoramic photos that document the Aterlier Brancusi, a recreation of sculptor Constantin Brancusi's studio in Paris. Surrounded by a corridor, visitors look into each of the studio's four spaces through glass walls. 

In an attempt to capture a feeling of three-dimensionality, Parker used his grandmother's 1920s medium format camera and reexposed the negatives to give echos of the room.
