Eric exhibited four works exploring abandonment and loss in Brunswick Street Gallery’s group exhibition “Emerge: Photographic Edition”. The subject, an abandoned community housing precinct laden with propaganda, filth, and poverty, was developed to house and control, then condemned and its inhabitants disenfranchised. A place that was far from under control, its inhabitants now out of sight and temporarily out of mind.
Eric’s deliberate heavy-handed interpretation of his subject attempts to capture the atmosphere of the site and the environment the residents were living in prior to the sites closure and demolition. These images capture the last days of a place many once called home. A place that now no longer exists.
