SEVENTH GALLERY presents Unconscious Geography by Christian Bishop Unconscious Geography is an immersive sculptural installation accompanied by a suite of botanical illustrations and etchings exploring the abject landscape of the urban environment. Taking its departure from the term ‘Terrain Vague’, used to describe marginal and ambiguous sites that punctuate the urban landscape, a product of the contemporary urban condition. Unconscious Geography focuses on the tragic poetics of an urban microcosm within Melbourne’s inner west.

Bishop’s latest exhibition, Requisition presents a mixed media installation exploring human presence and our relationship to the local urban environment. Themed from Terrain Vague, a term coined by Architect, Ignasi de Solà-Morales to describe such places: obsolete or dysfunctional sites that punctuate the otherwise cohesive, definable organization of the cityscape. Requisition, in a sense is a site specific project sourcing imagery, field recordings and found objects from a site 5km west of Melbourne Australia called Newels Paddock and appropriating them within the context of the ecological gaze. First Site Gallery, 344 Swanston Street Melbourne. Opening 26th of May 5:30pm and running from 27th of May to the 5th of June. All photos by Alan Weedon
