trishclark.co.nzYou are warmly invited to join Trish Clark Gallery for the opening on Tuesday 26 November 2024.
Trish Clark Gallery is pleased to present Heather Straka’s solo exhibition, Isolation Hotel, the acclaimed photographic series’ first presentation in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Originally conceived as a SCAPE project and installed at the Canterbury Museum in 2022, Isolation Hotel navigates time and distance, of relatively short duration but severe implications, that populations endured in pandemic times. With her characteristic wit and piercing insight, Straka positions her lone protagonists in carefully constructed film sets, portraying with a remarkable depth of feeling the alienation of isolation. Accompanying this suite of eleven photographic works are six paintings: two portraits, and four Peephole paintings that present intensely provocative gazes to the Isolation Hotel works and the audience.
