Sisarich scores at PDN Curator Awards
NEW YORK – Photographer Chris Sisarich from Sydney based Freeway Reps, has scored at the coveted PDN Curator Awards for his work ‘Somewhere in the Middle of No where’.
The Curator, which recognises outstanding and undiscovered fine art photography, placed a global search for seven artists to be awarded, with not just being printed in the June publication of PDN’s magazine, but an exclusive gallery show at the prestigious Milk Studios in New York, during their summer exhibition series.
‘Somewhere’ was developed during Sisarich’s recent trip to Egypt, whilst shooting for the global Tourism Egypt Campaign.
Sisarich states about the work: “It’s hard to tell whether I’m looking at all that’s left after a futile attempt at taming the desert, or witnessing the first tentative steps towards creating somewhere people can live. Either way, it is sparse in content with a lot of what isn’t there. An area pretty much defined by its negative space, blessed with light sliding in from no particular direction. The random locals and sporadic things they’ve made, only seem to make the landscapes emptier”.
Freeway Reps, who manage Sisarich, specialise in photography for advertising.
