- Summary:
-
An A3 softcover book produced alongside her solo exhibition in 2016 at Hugo Michell Gallery, 'Settlement' by Elvis Richardson catalogues images sourced from real-estate websites. They were selected from search criteria results for '2 bedroom house' 'less than $250,000' 'anywhere in Australia'. Set to accompany an animated video featuring the same images, this catalogue of 'Settlement' is the first edition in a limited edition print run of 50. On her website, the artist notes she 'was immediately attracted to the central role that photography played and what is unintentionally revealed. Settlement is not about kitchen countertops, bathrooms, sinks and lounge rooms professionally staged for wide angled perspectives with mood lighting and a fresh coat of paint. Settlement represents the ordinary, the elderly, the low income and the regional whose life-styles are now being re-packaged for investment consumption.' - http://www.elvisrichardson.com/settlement.html, viewed September 2019.
In her statement for the exhibition the artist further writes: 'Photography is a recording, analytic and aesthetic medium, and real-estate photography references both architectural, portraiture and anthropological photography. Real-estate photographs are documentary evidence of lives in transition, filled with economic, social and political signifiers. The real estate photograph is captured, edited and displayed with the overt intent that it be seen to represent a possibility in the viewer's future. Its photographic message is life-style and the Australian Dream of owning your own home while its anthropological truth is ignored. These photographs can be viewed as a record, a revealing document of the way we live.' -https://store.hugomichellgallery.com/products/elvis-richardson-settlement-catalogue, viewed September 2019.
