It’s easy to become overly sentimental about the homes that we used to live in. And the relationships we used to be in, and the bicycle we once had that got stolen...
Photographer Annie Hogan manages to capture similar emotion and presence in her photographs of empty homes. The Museum of Brisbane has this ten-year retrospective of the US based Australian photographer running for just one more week. Hogan is fascinated by the way public and private vacant spaces shape the way people think and behave. Photographing only vacant spaces and capturing the light within, her images display how, even after the residents are long departed, the aura of their presence and history linger.
Her interior shots of old timber houses in Queensland stimulate some kind of uneasy familiarity, as though you might have lived there once but now you can’t be sure. The lack of sentimentality in these desolate, poignant vacant spaces is beautiful yet confronting. You’ll probably either think it’s cool or it’ll make you feel domestically trapped. It made me feel domestically trapped.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
