Interior disaster



Can there be beauty in chaos?

Francesca Rosa’s forensic-like, photographic documentation of the havoc wrecked by Cyclone Larry on homes and lives, captures the beauty of line, form and colour in wreckage.

A twisted mattress, an upturned table and loosely hanging cables lay strewn about, but compose a balanced frame. Light filtering through gaps in the ceiling forms lines and patterns, bringing an eerie symmetry to the disarray. A ceramic bowl, brightly wrapped chocolates and a lone flower add touches of colour. Interior disaster is a moving memorial of the devastation.

Interior Disaster shows at the Australian Centre for Photography until Aug 22, 2009
