Sons of Beaches - the Exhibition: Kurb Gallery, March 30-April 13, 2007

My first solo exhibition: Sons of Beaches - will run from March 30 to April 13, 2008 at the Kurb Gallery, 310 William Street, Perth. Sons of Beaches is part of FotoFreo, the Fremantle Festival of Photography.

"West Australian photographer, Seng Mah, re-imagines the icon of the Australian
surf-lifesaver beyond its traditional associations with masculinity and
mateship. This exhibition asks whether the values and attitudes often attached
to this prevailing icon are still relevant today, or if the traditions of surf
life saving have evolved with the way we culturally identify ourselves as
Australians. The pictures reveal stories of individual surf lifesavers: stories
that can be poignant, dramatic, quirky and even erotic. The images re-purpose
the icon for consumption by a 21st century multi-cultural, multi-faceted
audience, and engage currently evolving attitudes about men, masculinity and
about being Australian. Sons of Beaches is a FotoFreo Perth 2008
exhibition."
