Photography: Real and Imagined examines two perspectives on photography: photography grounded in the real world, as a record, a document, a reflection of the world around us, and photography as the product of imagination, storytelling and illusion. On occasion, photography works in both realms of the real and the imagined.
This landmark exhibition is the largest survey of the NGV’s photography collection in the institution’s history and features more than 270 photographs by Australian and international photographers and artists working with photo media, including works by Max Dupain, Nan Goldin, Zanele Muholi and Man Ray.
