Dominic Redfern
Exhibition: Thursday 5 February - Sunday 3 May
WIRE brings together the environments of Fromelles, in French Flanders, and the Mallee, centring on events of July 1916 and their aftermath. WIRE offers a critical reflection on the culture of sentiment and fascination that has attached itself to this war, and a genuine expression of the impossibility of understanding such meaningless waste of life.
