Brisbane fine-art photographer Lex Lucas presents Liminal Traces, an exhibition of 20 large-scale photographic works exploring movement, memory and the fleeting moments between stillness and motion.
The photographs often appear to contain overlapping figures and ghostly traces. However, these effects are created entirely in-camera through single exposures, using long exposure, intentional movement, fabric, light and shadow rather than digital composites.
The resulting images have a cinematic and sometimes surreal quality, inviting viewers to consider how time, emotion and human presence can coexist within a single photograph.
Lex Lucas is a Meanjin/Brisbane-based photographer with a background in filmmaking and television production. He holds the FAPS and AFIAP photographic distinctions.
