IN THE GALLERY: Same Place Different Time

Jill Orr

31 May - 28 Jun 2025

Jill Orr is one of Australia’s leading contemporary artists. Her work spans performance, photography, video, and installation, and centres on issues of the psycho-social and environmental, where she draws on land and identities as they are shaped in, on and with the environment.

Same Place Different Time reflects the power of a place that is the same location and yet has subtle changes over time.

The same could be said of the remnant colonial haunting that sits as a cultural palimpsest where ghosts of past and present are manifest in the images.

These works are performances for the camera captured at different times but always as light emerges.

The place is a billabong in the reaches of the Yarra River, the Birrarung, on the Banyule Flats, Wurundjeri Country.

In collaboration with photographer, Christina Simons and printer, Brian Gilkes, Pharos Editions.
